This strap's only weakness is that it only works with pro cameras expecting to work with split-rings. It won't work with cameras with slots for straps like the Nikon D40.

For a tougher strap for a midsized camera, use the regular or smaller UPstrap, covered next. It's indestructible. It's a tough strap. It's not a lot of fun trying to break free of the grippy pad as you pull the camera to your eye. Specific Types of Leather– There are various types of leather out there, but some are better than others. Just because it’s Italian leather doesn’t mean it’s going to be a nice fit. In fact, there are few Italian leather straps I’ve ever really liked. Vegan leather can also be pretty good depending on the types, pliability, build, etc. The UPstrap is long enough so you can adjust it to any length, but you might have some free ends popping out.

No junk hanging off the strap or your camera: it's just a strap, a small pad, and ingenious fixation devices on each end.

It's a rough strap. The tough webbing isn't soft and supple like the Leica strap; the UPstrap webbing is made of much rougher and tougher material.

Webbing– By webbing, I mean that the strap should have enough space to evenly and comfortably distribute the weight along your body. For lighter cameras, if you prefer a strap this tough and grippy, UPstrap makes a smaller model for lighter rangefinder cameras, called the UPstrap RF. It's the same thing, with a smaller pad. Most users wear a strap at about 27-29 inches – this is the regular length that works for most photographers. If you are significantly taller or shorter than average, then consider looking at straps that are extra long or extra short for a more comfortable fit, but bear in mind that many straps have adjustable length, and these will likely fit the majority of body types. Are camera straps necessary? I never use the strap that might come with a camera. They usually are worthless and weak, and worse, advertise a camera with no benefit to me. A "NIKON" or "CANON" strap makes you stand out in a crowd to criminals, which you never want to do.
