Re: Neck strap
Tamrac straps are wide and comfortable, and they come with quick release mechanisms so they can easily be removed for tripod use. I use them on all my cameras. I tried the Pentax strap for a week or two when I first bought my D, but found it much less comfortable. I 'm now using the Tamrac N-27 along with a hand grip.

RE: Neck strap
You might want to get them to choose - neck straps seem to be a rather personal thing. Some people seem to like the wide neoprene ones, others do not. I like narrow webbing neckstraps. The best I've used have been the LX strap, Leica straps and, best of all, the Domke 1 Gripper strap, which has a swivel attachment.

Re: Neck strap
Haven't given that a lot of thought. I was actually looking at the Domke gripper. The main reason was that I like the strap on my F-2 bag. P. J.

Re: Neck strap
At the moment, my most comfortable neck strap is an OP/TECH USA. Slightly elastic foam rubber like material of decent width. Also, has quick release connectors which leave only a short length of narrow strap attached to the camera.

Re: Neck strap
Steve - I'm using a Domke Gripper strap. It's about an inch and a half wide, made of heavy woven Cotton. Two rubber grip strips are woven into the material so it doesn't slide off your shoulder. Two very short straps mount on the camera and the main strap attaches to them with quick release swivel clips. Everything is very heavy duty, comfortable and secure. I've had one on the K10 for about a year and it's worked very well. Just bought another Saturday for the K20. I paid just under $20 at the local camera store. If you want a very nice strap for free, go join Smugmug's free photography discussion forum at http://www.dgrin.com. Once you join you can go to http://smugmug.com/free-stuff.mg It's a nice strap if you don't mind the Smugmug logo.

Re: Neck strap
If you use matching wrist straps padlocks are a bit redundant. Cheers, Dave On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 1:58 AM, P. J.
