I have 3 of these the oldest of which is about 4 years old and, with heavy use, shows very few signs of wear. It is absolutely the most comfortable camera strap in existence. The main section is well padded and flexes to reduce the perceived weight of the camera/lens. The loop connectors are easy to attach and will never scratch or wear the finish off any part of the camera. The quick release feature of the strap is also very easy to use and convenient when a strap would be in the way. I have one of these for each of my 3 Canon DSLRs - the 1D MKII N, 20D, Rebel XSi.

As straps go, it's nothing special. I certainly didn't feel any difference in the perceived weight of the camera. As far as length goes, it fit me fine, but I have a short upper torso. For someone larger it might be a bit too short. My complaint would be it has a tendancy to get twisted when it's not around my neck, and having to straighten it out all the time. This is due to the loops at each end offering no resistance. I guess my OEM strap does it too, but not three or four twists.
Attaching it to my T2i was easy, just fold the loops flat on itself and shove it through.
All in all , it's an improvement on the OEM strap as it doesn't cut into my neck, is a little softer, and doesn't flash EOS to everyone.
I use a strap as a safety back-up. Even with the strap around my neck, I hold the camera while walking to keep it from swinging and bouncing on my chest.

I use this with a Canon 60D. It's comfortable and allows for ease of carrying and using the camera. The clips to disconnect are useful when using a tripod. It was a bit difficult to install on the Canon. However, it is a much better set up than then Black Rapid that forces you into using the connection on the bottom of the camera. Great price. B&H is awesome as always.

I use this on my X Pro 1, and it is just right for me. Some might find it too short, and I suspect by its name it is really intended for binoculars. It seems strong enough for the X Pro 1 with L-bracket attached. I wanted a thin plain and flexible strap with quick release. The QR is located right at the end of the loop leaving very little to dangle on the camera and get in the way when using on a tripod. The rubber-like strap is very comfortable, hardware is plastic, and there is nothing to damage the camera.

The first time I used the strap was at an air show. I used my Canon 7D and 70-300mm telephoto lens for about 5 hours and my camera was very comfortable around my neck. It was also easier to use the camera with this strap vs. the Canon strap.
The OP/TECH strap and camera are also easier to fit in my camera bag.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
Its a great product. The length is longer than the standard strap. So now I can kind of move the camera like a sling bag and shoot instead of taking it off my shoulder first and shoot. And I can also move the camera backwards. It twists less than the normal strap which used to drive me crazy. I don't have to keep straighten the strap every time I take it out. I think its a little bit heavier than the older strap. Its seems to be a good thing. Due to the thicker pad you might not be able to squeeze it into real tight places like a very small bag or so. The straps are a little bit difficult to attach. I had to use a very small tweezers to get it in on one end.

For the price and quality I have zero complaints. One caveat haven't put super long days on it, but it feels better than stock shorter periods. And Thank goodness no more bright logo. I might normally wear a strap longer but this one I don't care because quality exceeds price by a fair margin for me.
I affixed it to a D600 and a t2i 2 brands and levels of camera. I had zero issues getting through the eyelets so that complaint from others is lost on me.
I hate buying straps and covers and bags and things where pictures lie or are hard to tell. For the price I took the risk and I am happy. I'm sure you can donate it to your kid, wife, or friend if you don't like it one of them will.
Buckles hmm... They leave a few inches when you unbuckle of the thin nylon on each eyelet. These can be buckled together to form a small handle. I'm still not sure what I think. What I wanted was my strap not flapping in the wind on the tripod jittering long exposures. The little tails are easy to buckle or tie out of the way. So weird look works for me. One cool thing they have a couple other similar straps and you can interchange the unclipable shoulder portion, so you could change it for comfort, short walk, long walk, look...in about 3 seconds.
There are all sorts of little loops and buckles for sale by this company. I have no idea what some do but I think they may be helpful in customizing this strap to your needs.

I have a Lowepro strap that I love in other system but didn't find anymore, I guess its discontinued. I found this one intresting and purcharged and now I am really happy with it.
It's way better compare to the lowepro I have and shares the same features but it's way easier to put on and more confortable.

Nice product at a good price.
The loop part connecting to the camera looks a bit
thin. Hope it is still strong enough. Also it
would be even better if the the total length of the
entire strap had been a bit longer.

Used this strap last week treking over volcanic rock. It was surprisingly comfortable in equatorial heat and humidity while holding the weight of a Canon 5D Mark iii. Not effortless, but a great improvement over the Canon neck strap. As added bonus, it folded more easily into my camera/long lens carrying case than a Canon strap ever did. I also like being rid of an uncomfortable Canon strap which is comparatively of little more use than identifying the camera!

Very well made. Built to last. It's a little noisy where the buckles clip together so if you are a wedding photographer you may want to wrap them in gaffers tape. I did and they are perfect now. I purchased 2 of the same strap and both made noise. I made a Youtube video on the issue. Just look for my channel justinuriahphoto on Youtube and search for the OPTECH video.

I use this on a Canon 60D, and I'm happy with it. It's more comfortable than the stock strap, not to mention it doesn't advertise my camera. The clips to disconnect it are really nice when putting the camera on a tripod.
I used wires to pull the loops through the metal eyelets on the camera body, and that made short work of it.

I bought these straps to replace the ultra bright Canon straps provided with those cameras; for the sole reason of getting away from a strap that calls attention to itself and advertises that you have an expensive camera. I have found that these straps fulfill my desires and have several additional features. The removable main should strap portion leaves you with a short section from each side of the camera that connects to allow you to use it as a hand strap. As I frequently used the entire strap for this purpose, this is a very convenient feature. Additionally the strap seems to distribute the camera weight across the shoulder and it does nor slip of easily. Over all, A GOOD replacement if you want something other than name brand LOUD original equipment strap.

This strap is comfortable and the plastic clips seem to be well built. However, I wish it had small metal rings to loop the strap through (looping the strap through the hooks built into my camera was a tight fit).

I got this to avoid drawing attention to myself while traveling with a bright yellow Nikon strap. Works great.
