Do neoprene straps really work?

<p>Optech straps are great and i highly recommend them.<br>

They make the camera FEEL much lighter. Bounce is not a problem unless your jogging! :) Also, they NEVER seem to wear out. I have had one for more than ten years now and it is still going strong. I guess Made in the USA does make a difference :)<br>

They are so good that I also now use the Optech SOS straps on my laptop and camera case. They really does make a difference to your comfort.<br>

I have them on all my cameras. I prefer the older "fashion bino" style that didn't have the removable strap buckles. Seems more secure to me.<br>

You can also get them with different style connectors. I prefer the rubber No 2 connecters as they are very easy and quick to fit (and remove) from the camera. See here:<br>

<p>I'm on my third Tamrac straps - one for my (well what used to be my - it's now sold) D200, one for my D300 & I have one I often add to my 300mm AF-S f/4 lens to carry it around better on the camera. <br>

I bought a BlackRapid strap which I'm not all that happy with.... it's not as comfy & it's not as nice against my neck. I also got a Crumpler neckstrap - that's on the D700 & I like that. Still I love my Tamrac straps - yes a little bouncy - but very generous against my neck & I'm not getting any younger...... <br>
