Inconspicous Camera Straps

A while ago (20 years?) when I had a Olympus OM-1 I had a great, round,
brown nylon braided strap with no brand naming on it at all. It was either
an Olympus or a Nikon product.

I now have a Canon 5D and I dislike both the "Canon Digital" markings, the
conspicuous red colouring (I don't want to advertise) and the thickness.

Can anyone advise if a quality discreet camera strap is available?

I have Tamrac straps on all of my cameras, they are black with either a
black or tan suede leather pad that grips pretty well. Op/tech makes some
neoprene ones that are spoken of pretty highly, too. All are available at
any photo store or online from several retailers, like B&H, Adorama and KEH.

I have a Canon "pro" strap. While it does have the Canon logo on the
ends, it's not flashy.

I've used the solid black Pro Loop system from OpTech for years - never
needed anything else.

I got a very nice leather strap for my S2 IS from Canon. I'm sure it
would work just fine on the 5D. It has the Canon name stamped on it
but no one can really see it. Very comfortable.

I really like the Tamrac N-25 and use it on all my camera bodies, slr and
dslr. I've never
even taken my Nikon digital straps out of their wrappers to look at them.
The reason I like
the Tamrac over the Optech someone else recommended is that I prefer the
nylon strap method
of attaching to the camera body AND appreciate the quick release latches for
when I want to
use it on a tripod. The Tamrac straps are usually about $20 but the most
recent one I bought
was $10 (new). And there is NO printing on the neckstrap portion and just a
tiny logo near
the body attachment point.

My wife has an FM2 with no strap. She took it with her on a work/hiking
vacation trip and came home with a piece if clothesline attached to the
cameras strap eyes with big paper clips!

I'll second that - I've used them (and their bags) for years.
