The official Alpa neck strap ends in OP-TECH plastic connectors, so I suspect any OP-TECH connector-compatible strap would work, and probably save you $700I have a peak design but its got bits of metal on it that aren't covered and i don't want to scratch the camera up. What straps (other than the official Alpa strap) do you use?
Its like with lamborghini, even the foot carpets cost as much as the carpets for a full house! ><The official Alpa neck strap ends in OP-TECH plastic connectors, so I suspect any OP-TECH connector-compatible strap would work, and probably save you $700
This might be committing blasphemy because my strap says "FUJIFILM" on it, but stay with me.
Have you ever found a strap after you have used so many, expensive or not, that is just right for you?
I have lugged around lots of heavy gear in my career so I can appreciate a neck strap that works just right for me.
Also, maybe you have found a great strap, but it has metal o-rings and you fear it will scratch up the ALPA, well there is a solution.
I first purchased this strap from ThinkTank, it is their Camera Strap V2.0, but this one says "FUJIFILM" and I cannot remember where I got it from, but it was not being used when the SWA showed up, so it got a new home. I use these straps on multiple cameras, not just my SWA because of the comfort they provide me. They are also very affordable for the multiple systems I buy for. I use an ALPA leather wrist strap on my TC because it fits that camera well IMO.
I do have more fashionable straps that cost more money, but I replaced them after I found this strap was a great fit for my needs.
If you like this type of o-ring strap, you can still use it with the aid of Leather Protector Covers that do not cost a lot.
Kind regards,
