Sad sight: Damaged 24-70mm/f2.8 AF-S

<p>OMG!! That looks exactly like the type of strap the guy was using. The strap that allowed his D3 with 24-70 f2.8G lens to plunge to the floor, and shatter in two. What the H*** is Nikon thinking. Guess they just hired new lawyers and want to give them something to do.</p>

<p>Unbelievable.</p>

<p>I got recommendations to use those single point straps on my dual camera harness, and the reasoning sounded good. But I just can't bring myself to use that point for a strap. I like the two point strap, and I like it rigged so both will have to break before the camera can fall. I am gutless (and camera poor).</p>

Must be some sort of conspiracy: More people use straps that can fail to suspend the camera and lens -> more dropped equipment -> more repair work -> more revenue.<br>

Makes perfect sense. :-)</p>
