hey guys

since i will be using my d70 in a few pretty touristy places soon, i was
thinking about getting a neck strap that doesn't scream "nikon" that loud.
so - here my question: what strap would you guys suggest me to get?
preferrable neutral black and rather affordable. a nice cushioning wouldnt
harm either but is no necessity.

thanks a bunch!

Are you ashamed to be using a Nikon?

You could always get a Leica strap instead.

Get a marks-a-lot. You really think that your strap will be the only thing
that attracts attention?

Optech. Nice & comfortable, nondescript, & some of the models have
removable clasps so you can use your camera without the strap.

I've used Tamrac N-45 straps for all my cameras for years. They are
nylon webbing, but have a nice large suede pad...I find them quite
comfortable.

I prefer the Tamrac to the Optec, a little old school, maybe, but I like it.
Black nylon strap with lightly padded sueded leather pad.
