Last fall while traveling, my shoulder strap slipped off while opening a door. The M3 it was holding smashed the few feet to the ground hard enough to bend the brass and make it impossible to load or unload film. I still use Domke straps, but I've replaced the older ones with new ones.

The current straps nd the previous versions are my favorite camera straps as they do not slip off my shoulders, unlike the strap of my D200 which will not stay in place for anything. Next week when I'm in Chicago, i plan to get one for the D200, so it will finally stay in place.
