Durable? This DIY strap from an old belt goes back to 1971 and has been in constant use on my primary camera ever since. Shown on a K200D and presently keepin' company with the latest K5iis. I've two others that are only a LITTLE newer. They're old friends that are
simpatico in a way that nylon just can't match. I expect these'll outlive me and end up on my son's gear -- but maybe not for 15-20 more years if I'm lucky!
