News Peak Design introducing new colours

[AlphaWorld]

I enjoy using different colours of camera straps, possibly because all the bodies are the same colour, and all the lenses come in black or white.

When I started buying Peak Design straps they came, I think, in just:

• black
• “ash” - a kind of silver grey.

I haven’t paid close attention, but after those two they introduced:

• Sage - green
• Midnight - blue
• Coyote - brown

And now they have brought out four new colours:

• Ocean - looks like a cyan
• Eclipse - a dark red
• Kelp - another green
• Ibis - looks like a magenta or orangey colour

There’s another variant which I haven’t looked at which uses different fittings.
EDIT: it's called "Carryology" - orange fittings

Do we need all these?

Do we need all these?

Not personally. I like a bit of colour in my life, but a strap is a strap. Add to that, I don't like to draw any more attention to my equipment.

I actually just bought a dark blue lite one as I damaged my first strap over the weekend, the color difference will be a nice quick visual to know which strap to use with the big lenses. Plus I needed a 2nd plate. I found I really like the straps to be anchored to the left body anchor and the base plate rather than both body anchors.

I had an ash colored slide lite and gave it to my cousin, then I got myself the Sage colored strap and cuff. I like the color, its green, but not obnoxiously bright.

I don't love the coyote color, but when it came out it was the only one to come with black anchor buttons (or whatever they call them). If they sell those separately now, I might buy a set.

As for bags, I just go with basic black.

I can't wait to see the camo brigade with their new Cyan straps...

They do sell the all-black anchors separately, and they are quite cheap, too. Plus they include the really nice oval split rings in the package.

One thing I noticed later about the new colours is that the anchors are colour matched to the straps! That's new.

Not a fan of black bags, except for rollers - a black shoulder bag kinda screams "camera!". I mostly use the Retrospective bags, and they come in a variety of colours. I have different colours set up with different lenses.
