It has an AustriAlpin cobra buckle on it. That's heavy duty stuff, I have them on my belts.

 

That looks pretty hardcore. Wish I had those back when I was shooting red carpets. Would have saved me a couple cameras.

 

$180?

 

I never said cheap. lol

They are as high quality as quality gets. I think they are called an "Adventure" camera strap. So everyday guy probably doesn't need it, but if you have $15,000 in gear hanging on your neck on a cliff, you don't want a cheap strap.

I was just curious if anyone has seen them or used one.

 

Thank God I only have around $3,000 hung off me at any given time.

They do look like a nice piece of equipment though.

 

I understand the sentiment but I carry my cameras on the straps they came with.

 

Sorry if I came off like an ass. I was trying to explain the price a little bit and thought I would share since I could get deals on them.

 

Made a last minute judgment call and decided to push myself to only shoot film at 50mm over this trip all over SD and ND. 5 days and lots of hours in the road. I brought three rolls of 24 exposures and 5 of 36 so I should be set ha. They're all roles of B&W TMAX that I got on a steep discount.

What I've realized lately is the more limiting my camera is the more I have to grow, and the more the camera does for me the less I learn so I'm forcing myself to leave the digital at home this trip and see what I can get

Bringing 1979 Nikon EM, 8 rolls of b&w film and they e series 50/1.8 and that's it ha

 

Nice!

 

Nice! If you're traveling with anyone (girlfriend maybe?) you should tell them to bring a camera to document as well. Goes with any camera, I s'pose, but I'd hate to lose those pictures if the film got messed up...

 

Nah. It's just a trip up to flat, boring North Easter SD ha a couple pages back I put up some photos from the same camera with Tri-X and they all turned out great

 

You didn't come across as anything other than wanting to share. I'm good with that and it's a great idea, just way too much money.

 

Yeah I hear you.

 

I didn't think that at all. I was just messing with you. Lol like I said it does look like a nice piece of equipment just a lot of photography things I could put that much towards. I was kind of shocked the first time I saw my black rapid strap for $75 but, now that I have it I can see why it costs that much and how nice it really is. I'm sure that strap is really nice too.

 

My brother made me a camera strap out of para500 cord..

 

Nothing I've seen yet can match the quality that film has. Digital is nice but film just has that look to it. I think everyone that has never shot film should do it at least once to see the difference it makes. I used to shoot B&W exclusively and enjoyed it tremendously.

It's funny how most of the reviews on the 50mm 1.8 series E lens were always kinda crappy. I shot that lens for years and loved it. It was always sharp as hell. I wish I could find mine even thought I have the 50 1.8 D. The E was a lot better glass.

 

I need to get a lens cap for mine haha it's getting beat up.

 

that's a good idea, i have a bunch laying around from my whip projects . Might try it!

 

its actually really sweet..i was impressed. Comfy too..and he made it so i can cut it and have like..a lot of para500 cord in life and death situations..haha
