The 1901 'Maitani'  Leather Camera Strap  -  Dark Brown


          A strap for that 'decisive moment'   

The ‘Maitani’ (named after the great Olympus camera designer Yoshihisa Maitani) is a minimalist, very supple yet strong camera strap designed for real photographers. 
I am a photographer based in the UK and I make my straps by hand from the finest quality, full grain English leather. 

The 'Maitani' is one of my most adjustable straps and can be set in length from around 83cm to 137cm in length. 
The strap's length is adjusted using two sliding pewter buckles. 
The buckles are hand made and are a reproduction of the very same buckles used by Olympus on their original PEN cameras from the late 1950's. 

The strap is 11mm wide and will fit nearly all DSLRs, Compact System Cameras and any camera with an eyelet or slot style strap attachment.  
The leather ends unhook from the grommets at each end of the strap so they can be threaded through the existing strap attachments on the camera, 
or, one could use the split rings that are supplied with the strap. 
The grommets are machined in stainless steel for a lovely quality look and feel, and to provide a secure hold in the leather once attached. 

If you would like to check this strap will fit your camera, please feel free to ask. 


                  I think the 1901 'Maitani' looks great on Classic Cameras as well as the latest Compact System Cameras and DSLRs. 


                WHAT DIGITAL CAMERA magazine (August 2015) gave our 'MAITANI' a FIVE STAR GOLD AWARD
