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.

Much better than the one that came with the camera! We didn't get to use it often yet, but so much more confortable. Little pricey, but you get what you pay for !

Two reasons to buy this strap:
1) to stop showing off your camera brand (Canon, Nikon, etc.)
2) the quick release for long-exposure photography on a tripod

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
I use this strap on my second camera. Much more comfortable than the strap that comes with cameras.
Wish the quick connect was closer to the connecting strap so when unfastened there wouldn't be so much strap still hanging on the camera.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
Much more comfortable than the Canon strap that came with my 60D. The quick disconnects are sturdy, I have no fear of them failing, and are great when using a tripod as you can remove the strap with ease. Totally worth [$].

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
Excellent quality strap. However, the uni-loops, while a great idea, were nearly impossible to get through 3/8" camera lugs- quite a struggle in attempting to flatten loop material and squeeze it through. Material just a bit too thick (width OK) to get through without a sweat.
OP/Tech USA website shows a method of using a string to pull it through, but didn't work for me. Was afraid I was going to break the camera lugs pushing so hard to get the uni-loops through.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
Compared to the stock Nikon strap, it's fantastic! I've got it on a D7000 and it's very comfortable. The 2-inch (black) wide neoprene is a width that's just right. I didn't go with the wider version as it has branding on it. The Super Classic can also be worn as a sling; just adjust the strap to lengthen it. I even like this strap better than my Black Rapid RS1 because when worn sling style, the camera does not bounce around. This is due to the camera being held more stably from BOTH camera lugs as opposed to only one connection point of the RS1. I like the fact that the Pro Loops can be detached from neoprene padding and then reattach to themselves...very clever!

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
I bought this one and retired another less comfy strap. It is soft, so I stuck it inside the camera case without worries. The strap is wide enough to remain stable on my neck and distribute better the weight of my camera and lens.
It could be a little longer. Otherwise I am totally satisfied.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
I've been using these straps on my professional cameras for almost 10 years. I've tried other straps but these are the best.
- Safety. The loops ensure the strap never comes off. I almost lost a camera once using a different strap.
- Comfort. I typically have a camera around my neck, or on my shoulder for hours at a time. Many times, I'll have two cameras, one with a wide angle lens, and one with a heavy telephoto. These straps never chafe and are always comfortable.
- Durability. My cameras go with me into all kinds of environments and these straps show very little wear after years of use. I just bought another strap for my D7000 this year.

I used this strap to replace the sony strap that came with my Sony SLT A55.
This strap allowed me to carry my camera all day long without any strain on my neck. I would definitely recommend this to anybody upgrading or replacing their current camera strap.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
The strap that came with my EOS 7D was so uncomfortable that I decided to look for a replacement. After doing some research, I settled on the Super Classic Strap-Pro - I have never made a better decision. The strap is comfortable on my neck, the elasticity in the strap helps to cushion camera bounce as you walk. Excellent product!

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
I was looking for a more comfortable camera strap and bought this one along with a Black Rapid strap (couldn't make up my mind so I figured I'd just buy both).
To tell you the truth, I can't give that great of a review because I haven't been able to attach it to my camera. The straps are too wide and thick to get it on my Canon 7D. I assume some have been successful in getting it done but no luck for me.
Also, while there are clips to detach it from the camera, the clips are too high up the strap (just near the cushion part). I would have preferred something closer to the base so if it was detached, the amount of strap hanging loose wouldn't be as much.
Finally, since the strap is wider, I can't fit my attachments on the strap (eye piece cover, remote control).
So, all in all, not the best purchase, at least for me and my camera. Cheap though.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
This is a good basic strap for your camera. I'm not a huge fan of quick release straps due to the added points of failure but after using this strap for the last several weeks I can say I have 100% confidence in it. The strap itself is slightly flexible which is supposed to make the weight "feel" lighter. To me it feels the same but the strap overall is much more comfortable than the one my camera came with. And the quick release does come in handy; this is actually two straps in one: a handstrap and a shoulder strap. I personally use the handstrap more than the shoulder and either way it's much more manageable than the included one. Also the price is right. It's just a strap and it really shouldn't require much investment.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
This strap is very comfortable and rugged. It was a little hard to get through the attachment points on my Canon 5D MII but with a little effort it did work. The strap feels much more comfortable than using the Canon-supplied strap. I have a Sigma 50-500 lens which weighs nearly 5 pounds and using this strap better distributes this weight much better than the Canon strap. I would note that I also use a seat belt pad over any strap I use but even without the seat belt pad, this strap is comfortable. I also bought the extenders because other reviews noted this strap was too short. However, I found this strap was long enough for me.

I have avoided the use of straps in the past because they were simply uncomfortable while using my Canon 7D. No more. I spent the better part of a day this week using the new Canon 70-200 mm IS II with absolutely no discomfort.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Super Classic Strap-Pro Loop (Black):
Strap easily attaches via the flexible loops and provides great flexibility in getting the strap out-of-the way when you don't want to disconnect it completely. I needed to replace an older strap with semi-rigid camera-to-strap connectors and this fits the bill perfectly. Neck portion of the strap is comfortable and is curved to make it ride nicely on your neck.
