This is mostly a more philosophical/toilet thoughts topic but…
Does any of you use them? For me, their quality/becoming a living ad aside, I pretty much only use sling straps, and they are just too short for that. Actually I feel it’s pretty crappy they can only be used on the neck, where even an average mirrorless/lens dangling for hours d certainly hurt you, instead of explaining/giving some alternative options new people could be oblivious about.
Isn’t it also a bit odd how manufacturers include just the same strap from their most entry models, up to the multi-thousand dollar flagships? Like, I don’t expect a PD strap with a, dunno 4000D, but wouldn’t you expect better if you a shelling $4000 or something?
Anyway, dinner time!
I added 5mm thick neoprene strips to my peak slide on the shoulder, yes it limits your ability to slide it and change it up but I already have a wrist strap for the other body so have a dedicated cross body strap pretty much. It made it so I could carry it all day without complaining vs after a hour wanting to jump off the nearest building if I had a zoom on their, the 85mm 1.4g isn’t so bad or even the 35-70mm but RIP me that 80-200 2.8D is built like damn tank.
