We like to buy ourselves a little luxury enjoyment once at a time that makes us feel good – small as a fancy bar of Swiss chocolate, or perhaps a new piece of jewelry or a designer shirt. So my thinking, why is this not done with camera accessories? It makes sense. After all, you are more likely to use your camera, when you wear shirts, and too much chocolate is bad for you. When I treated myself with my Leica Q2 monochrome, I did this. I bought the perfect luxury accessory for this: a Haxmill Strap, proudly handmade in England.
It is interesting to see that in recent years, street photography is out to be one of the most popular styles of photography under the shade of travel photography in recent years.
What a surprise that so many photographers buy expensive luxury cameras to do unnecessarily street photography – even absolute beginners. One can argue that if a good camera makes you feel good and wants to pick it up more, it is great. I bought one for this reason!
But what I do not understand that these are the same people who appreciate the right German craftsmanship who have gone on their camera-why are they putting plastic straps on it which have been produced extensively in China? It is like buying a good briumi suit and getting your shoes from Walmart. Why? just why?
When i got Lika Q2 monochromeIt was understood that put a finely prepared handmade lease from England on my handmade German camera. Both go together. They are together.
Hawkmil
I found a small company in England called Haxmil. His philosophy is to make the best possible product with the best material, as they love photography. They are made in small amounts in a factory with the experience of producing more than 200 years of leather. They create their leather sources from England, Italy, Belgium and USA. Their goal is to produce a cheap product extensively and not to sell as much as possible. I like that. it makes me feel good.
I bought Westminster, and now we are inseparable for about 20 months. The leather softens and even comfils to wear around my neck with each passing month. This, without doubt, the best camera strap that you can move with street, travel and normal your camera. This is not adjustable, so you order it in one of the five pre-made lengths available.
Recently, he sent me another model- Boro- which is adjustable. The main strap is slightly thin. It is very elegant, yet it is understood. The boro suits a leaka m or Q, Fujifilm X100 chain, or a little Sony or Olympus.
Westminster, being comprehensive, suits large cameras. It looks good on my Nikon Z6 III. However, for me, this is the perfect companion for my leaks Q2m. It is my favorite lease of both of them due to simplicity.
Why is leather the best option for a strap?
A beautifully prepared leather strap will age with grace. Since the leather absorbs oil from your skin, wears over time, and collects scratches, it develops a rich sheen, color, and fetina. I think my leather strap collects stories together with our exploits and shares them through that Petina. It has a timeless attraction that fits so well with the timeless attraction of my leak.
The leather softens, but never weak. It maintains its strength and durability, and I am guessing that both my cameras and I will know.
A synthetic, machine-manufactured strap-rooted plastic is dirty and worn over time, and becomes very ineffective.
My well old Westminster Strap has become my partner, not just a camera accessory. It has become part of my journey. I like my lease very much.
