I originally purchased two Strapateer straps for my digital cameras, but I loved them so much I had to get one for my Nikon F3hp — a camera I’ve been shooting with for nearly forty years. Owning anoth... See more

I picked up the Strapateer Camera Strap Type B and Type C, and I’m absolutely blown away by the quality. The leather feels unbelievably soft. There’s none of that stiff, “new strap” feeling; inste... See more

I'm a big fan of the Type A strap and decided to add a brown one to my lot. Also, added the version 2 of the photo vest - which is a real winner. The bigger pockets are very roomy and accommodate ev... See more

Excellent product, kind helpful and professional service

Matthew at the Strapateer was kind, considerate and understanding. I had been concerned that my billing address in Japan seemed incomplete. Matthew kindly included my extra information with the delivery instructions. Also when Fedex updates stopped before delivery Matthew apologized and reassured me. The crank camera winder arrived safely the next morning in secure packaging and the product was easily attached to my Leica M3; using the simple instructions and allen key included with the winder.

Brilliant company; brilliant product!

So good to deal with a company run by a photographer making superb products for photographers! All my rangefinder cameras now have these straps and I’ll be buying more when I start using my SLRs again in the summer.
Matthew is so helpful and quick to respond. Thanks…again!

Fantastic product and service!

These straps and the designs really live up to expectations. Expertly crafted and excellent use of fine quality materials.

Friendly service from start to finish and fast shipping. I now have several of these and love the various combinations that can be assembled. Comfortable to wear and a perfect homage to the original Strapateer. I'm more than confident they will last another 60 years alongside my cameras.

Thank you!

A great quality hand made product.

I have purchased several versions of these for various cameras. The leather is strong yet supple and can be worn around the neck all day. I typically walk about 10 miles when I’m out with this and the strap doesn’t chafe and doesn’t add loads of weight. I love the classic look and the nickel hardware is a pleasure to the touch. These are the only straps I will use from now one. The icing on the cake is that Matthew is a true gentleman and pleasure to deal with.

I had a great experience with Strapateer. I was very impressed with the Type A strap, packing was great, leather and hardware looks and feels great to use! Strapateer definitely hit the nail on the head with the vintage feel of these straps. Feels right at home on my M3 and Nikon F. Excited to order more in the future!

Also, shipping times to the Midwest USA was incredible! had the strap in my hand within three days of order!

Solid product.

Product arrived on time. Quality looks amazing, feels great. The strap is sturdy, rivets were in place. Couldn’t be happier.

The Strapateer vest is beautifully constructed and the fit is perfectly (std M fits a 40-42” chest) with just enough room to spare. The buttons on the top of the sleeve holes are a fantastic, simple design that works just as intended. Really great overall.
