A New Camera Strap

I have not treated myself to any new gear in a long while, so when a photographer friend suggested I try the Sevilla leather camera strap from ONA, I figured I would indulge.

I have an ONA Bowery leather camera bag which is just magnificent. It’s well made and the leather just keeps looking better as I use it.

The Sevilla costs $65. ONA ships quickly. I had my strap two days after I ordered it. Opening up the package flooded my senses with the rich deep smell of leather. ONA’s leather just smells wonderful.

In the ONA tradition, the strap is very well made with robust rings and built-in strap protectors. It’s a 40” strap which is just perfect for me. ONA says the strap will hold ten pounds but I can’t imagine ever wanting to carry 10 pounds of camera on my shoulder.

I think I will try the Sevilla on my Nikon F3. The antique cognac color of the leather will look nice against the F3’s black body. More to come.
