Single Point Sling Yes or No?

I am thinking about buying a single point camera sling but find that there are so many I don't know which to choose from. At one end are the hugely expensive and at the other much less expensive ones on Ebay like the Optech. Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated. Also.... are there any cost advantages buying from the US rather than here in Europe (or in my case the UK).

If you're referring to a strap like the Black Rapid, I would definitely recommend it. That old adage "You get what you pay for" certainly applies here. I bought one from LinkDelight.com, and while it served the purpose, it didn't have the quality or the ease of use of the Black Rapid. I'm not one to spend money foolishly, living on a pension, but I'll tell you.......once I paid for the Black Rapid strap, I could see why instantly the value of this strap. Extremely well made, totally functional, and it does what it's supposed to do extremely well. I don't leave the house without this strap on my camera.

Thanks for the information fotojack.. wow! It's pricey here in the UK around $85 (Canadian)... sometimes a little less. I like the look of it so will try looking for a lower price.
