Digital SLRs are great, film cameras are great.  What aren’t great are the straps they include, covered in slanty, ‘futuristic’ typefaces advertising exactly what brand and/or model of camera you’re using.  That’s handy only for two reasons: You’ve forgotten and need to know exactly what brand and/or model of camera you’re using. You’re around other photographers and you’re certain that your camera has more megapixels than theirs and want to flaunt it.  Cause you and I know it’s all about the megapixels. Enter this new Etsy store that offers a vintage camera strap for less-than-vintage cost ($30).  Enjoy.  via Uncrate.
