Post by: tazdog on August 18, 2019, 03:39:25 pm

Hey! What do XF owners use for a camera strap when walking around?

Thanks

Are you saying that it doesn't come with one?

I don;t walk around with it, but just in case I have one of these if I ever need to:

I just have the anchor links attached to the camera which i find useful to get it out of the case / bag

I used the Peak lugs on a CPS strap for a while, it's nice to have it on something, but it never felt balanced off the top pair, and the grip side didn't feel much better. Something about it bouncing around on a strap felt uncomfortable to me.  In hand, with a hand strap seemed to fit me better.

It does come with one although they didn't include it in the initial shipment. I had to request it later. I use it as a wrist strap. Camera is way to bulky and heavy to carry around neck in my opinion. Although, I feel that way about every camera except my Leica Q2.

I have never used any of my camera's neck straps as neck straps, but they usually make decent shoulder straps...

My XF, when outside of the studio is either in a shoulder bag or in my hand with a hand strap, so I have never found the need for a neck/shoulder strap
