    Post your retro looking camera straps

I'd prefer something thin and made in the USA like Lance Camera Straps | Braided leather and cord camera straps. Handmade in the USA. or TAP & DYE | Leather Camera Strap |...

    Yashica Electro 35 GSN arrived

    GSN arrived! Battery included (Energizer E164). Power light is green, shutter fires every time. Self timer works. Only issue (I think) is turning the aperture ring does not open/close the aperture within the lens. Should it work like a SLR lens?

    D7100 is finally gripped

    Finally gripped the D7100. Still unable to score a deal on a used MB-D15 for under $140 or so. Being the new D7200 shares the grip, I don't see the used prices coming down too much anytime soon. A friend had a second XIT Grip he bought and never used. Took that off his hands today. Since I...

    I have the non-VC Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 on my D7100. Bought it used last fall. I really like the range and have been happy with the lens overall. I do experience focus hunting indoor at times and the lens 'creeps' down while carrying. That aside, for sub-$300 no complaints. I may be able to buy...
