Hasselblad wide neck strap
      #659494 - 26/05/2008 10:54

Hello, does anyone know where I can buy a leather or canvas/fabric WIDE neck strap for Hasselblad 500 series? The brand name straps seem to be quite narrow. Many thanks.

Look for Optech straps - very comfortable on a heavy SLR, should cope with a 'blad just fine.

WHS. I have one on my Mamiya and it's very comfortable and makes it feel much lighter. They do them in a couple of different fittings so you should find one that fits.

WHS -- did a quick search and couldn't find them online. Do you have a website or stockist?

"WHS" on this forum is "what he said" not W H Smith.

For an online stockist of Optech straps try www.speedgraphic.co.uk, not always the cheapest but very good service - but I think you'll find them stocked in most places if you use the search facility from the site's home page.

Aperture in London have recently brought out their own brand of Hassie strap. maybe worth a looksee.
