About Sharpshooter カメラストラップ

「Sharpshooter（シャープシューター）」は、一眼レフカメラを使用する写真家のために作られたカメラストラップです。肩に当たる上部には圧力を分散するクッションフォームを内蔵し、外側はイタリア製カーフレザー、内側はスエード素材で仕上げています。ストラップの長さは調節可能で、カメラをより扱いやすくします。真鍮製のセーフティロックは素材感のアクセントとなるとともに、カメラをさらに確実に固定します。タンニンなめしの牛革とイタリア製カーフレザーを用い、一本一本を台湾の熟練職人が手作業で仕上げています。耐久性に優れ、あらゆるメーカーのカメラに対応します。
