Talking Pap Strap Camera Strap oh my god!

Oh my god. Got myself a pap strap. I cannot tell you how fantastic it is. It is a definite stocking filler this Christmas. You'll never go back to your normal neck strap. Pap Strap UK best camera strap I use my strap on the lens/tripod mount of my canon 50d with 70-200L is USM plus also my 17-55 with 50d.

Looks like a copy of BlackRapid's R strap

I use a homebrew solution like this with my G10

I also have one of the blackrapid models that I use with my 70-200mm when shooting sports. It's a lot easier to handle and pull up from the side of ya, when the action comes your way.

We could nominate it for the 2009 "Websites That Suck" award http://www.websitesthatsuck.com/

BTW, if you look at any of the sites there, you may want to have already taken plenty of your favorite headache remedy.

Just as a footnote for photographers that are considering creating websites, Flash sites are some of the highest ranking offenders.

Curiosity got the better of me and I checked out the site. It took me two hours to write this post because of the seizures induced by it.

Well i don't want celbs wailing on me just because i look like one of the paps. No offense though, i think it's a little too incognito.

Thanks for the info. I've been looking for something to use for when I'm sporting two cameras, and the blackrapid looks like a good option. Hopefully someone will see it on my Amazon wishlist

And yeah, the other site is horrible.
