I use a Lowepro Voyager C. It's just plain black, which is nice. Neoprene, so if it's hot at all, you kinda sweat under it. Pretty wide though. It's comfortable, it's just the heat thing that is an issue for me. It also has quick releases so you can take it off the camera fairly fast.

Doesn't everyone rave about the POTN straps?

I love mine, I even use one on the bag for my brothers bigma to make it easier to lug that around all day.

PotN straps are dumb. (no offense, I like things w/o logos)
They are Optech straps but you can get better versions w/o the printing on them.
This is what I have:

you can also take off the padded part which makes the strap about half as long (basically for when you don't want/need a strap). You can also buy extra ends for them for $10 so you put them on each body you have and then have just one actually strap. Makes everything more compact and less straps to deal with in your bag.

LOL well I bought the POTN one because some, although not much of the money goes to the site which I frequent a lot plus it is subtle and shows support for a great photography forum. So I guess there will be no NSOF straps then.

I agree supporting them is nice, it's just I like basic black stuff that attracts as little attention as possible...
Plus the strap they offer is not as nice as the Optech strap I picked up from B&H. It has stitched sides which I really like.

either way, the neoprene is VERY nice when you need to have something around your neck for a long time.

Doesn't hurt my feelings, I was just throwing it out there because they're popular.

You're absolutely correct, I am now a mere vacuous semblance of myself. I can't fathom continuing on until Ben makes me whole again. This can only happen if he retracts his icy tentacles from my constricted spine and apologizes for his cancerous and acidic remarks. Damn you for ruining me, Ben!!

no, it's different.
The PotN strap is the "pro" strap. It's plain neoprene on the edge, just cut (and IMHO ugly, wetsuits have been stitching this over for years now):

the one I linked is the "classic". They stitch over on the edge of it so you can't see the "guts" of the neoprene:

The one I have is $20.95 @ B&H -vs- $18.95 for the PotN strap at their store. I just like the stitching on the edge of the strap enough to make it worth the extra $2 for me. My optech tripod strap is the same type as that PotN strap w/o the stitching (it's the only way they sell it unfortunately) so I own both kinds. IMHO the "classic" is a much better looking product.

Again, no offense meant to those with PotN straps as it is a great cause and it support the community, I just like basic black and the finished edge of what I have.

YMMV

I have two of the Op/Tech POtN-like straps. All-day comfort with 1D series body and up to a 70-200 f/2.8 IS L lens. I've even tried the 500 on it, and it did ok
