btw is there an accessory to put and remove a strap quickly ? because once the strap attached with the camera, it's really annoying to remove it

Optech straps have quick release snaps and you can also get release fittings for use with Black Rapid or Sun Sniper rigs.

You could also go with a Cotton Carrier which requires no strap at all.

OpTech has a variety of quick-disconnects for their straps. Or you could combine OpTech's Adapt-Its and Domke's QR strap, or . . .

You could probably get some clips to attach to the ends of the Crumpler strap to make it work. Personally, I'm very happy with the OpTech Pro straps.

This is the incredibly tough Optech Adapt-its http://www.procameragear.com …_info.php/products_id/612 For some bizarre reason you get three to a pack. Combined with the http://www.procameragear.com …_info.php/products_id/233 swivel adapters onto an Optech strap.

It’s a bit of a bugger but you can get the Adapt-Its on the other way up on both sides. Heating them in hot water helps.

Having said that, I actually loathe straps and rarely use them anyway.

You should've had 4 in the pack.
