Nice camera strap

[trailrider]

Does anyone know where I can get an old fashioned camera strap? I remember seeing photographers with well worn leather straps with padding that looked like sheepskin seat covers.... some had groovy hippy looking designs on them too....

I've searched but haven't seen any out there.

This one has potential, just missing the sheepskin.

They probably were 'well worn sheepskin seat covers' attached to a leather strap for extra comfort :lol:

You might find something in an old s/h camera shop?

Actually that look was pretty common back in the late 70's and early 80's. If my memory serves, I straps similar to the one in tma888's photo on at least two of my OM's. By the late 80's I had moved out of that phase.

I'm happy with my POTN strap. Too young for that anyways.

I almost got one of those for my XT. I used to have one on my old Maxxum 7000 and Pentax film SLRs.

kinda miss them...

I bet if they were available today they would sell like mad! Retro is back and they looked really comfortable.

I had one of those for my AE-1 Program. It got stolen. :) The thief had bad taste, what can I say? ;)

Actually they were comfortable; and you may be right they might just sell with a retro look!
