I picked up the Strapateer Camera Strap Type B and Type C, and I’m absolutely blown away by the quality. The leather feels unbelievably soft. There’s none of that stiff, “new strap” feeling; inste... See more

I'm a big fan of the Type A strap and decided to add a brown one to my lot. Also, added the version 2 of the photo vest - which is a real winner. The bigger pockets are very roomy and accommodate ev... See more

I recently bought two type A straps, one black and one brown. In the short time I've owned them I truly believe these are the straps that will stay on my M cameras. Beautifully constructed, simple,... See more

Style of your straps
Style of your straps. I like old school things like retro cameras and old fashioned, tactile products.

The best
Firstly, the communication through the website was great! I had a very specific two-camera set up and the email was answered the same day. Shipping from the UK to California took less than a week...I was shocked at how fast it arrived.
The quality of the straps are second to none. I am an event photographer in the Napa Valley...I used it for the first time last night on a four hour event at the Four Seasons. An M11-P and an SL3 around my neck all night, never took them off...zero pain! Incredible.
The look, the feel, the smell of the leather...all top tier.

Dear Paul, reviews like yours make us very happy. Thank you!
A strap to keep for decades
I love the quality and feel of the strap. It is very well made. One small remark which is a matter of personal taste. I wish the steel rings were a bit more up to par with the rest of the strap metal parts. Besides that is an amazing strap and it feels great on the hands and body. I will be wearing it for many years to come. Update: Strapateer explained their rationale around the rings and it makes complete sense to me. I would like to add the quality of it is very good, it was more of a stylistic comment than anything else. I would recommend this strap without hesitation to anyone.

Thank you for your kind words. We looked for a long time to find split rings of the right gauge and strength. The tricky thing is that the eye of the lugs on different makes of cameras are not one standard size - and so, we had to find a ring that would fit through the largest number of variants possible. The ones we use at the moment are the best we could find to suit as many camera makes as possible.
The perfect strap
I've purchased several of these straps for all my cameras. They are my absolute favorite. Functional and stylish.

Dear Clay, 'Functional and Stylish' - is, indeed, the perfect motto for us! Thank you

One of our favourites is our Rolleiflex with a strapateer replacing the tired old original... The way the old strap begins to tear at its rivets is a very scary thing! Nobody wants to see their Rolleiflex plummet to the ground!!
Wonderful

Otstanding, simply....

-and we guarantee that quality every time. Thank you.
A lovely thing . .
I've been wanting a leather strap to replace the synthetic ones I've had for years but never found one I liked enough to spend the money on. I had no doubts about the strapateer. It's beautifully designed and made and has attracted comments and enquiries since I started using it. Even the packaging is well conceived.

Thank you! We love 'Bob'; our Strapateer mascot - you've seen him - printed on the box, label and in other places... We were thinking that we might put him on baseball caps, too!
Best straps I've ever used
Best straps I've ever used, amazing high quality build. Love the vintage look i use the double strap from a Leica MP + Leica Q3.

The double strap - the Type C - is such a nice thing to use; that's for sure! We use a 35mm on one camera, a 28mm on the other and carry a third camera with a 90mm over one shoulder with a Quick-Snap strap offering the support
Incredible product with great support
