I have the Hama attached to my NEX camera in order to always have "under control". She's been absolutely stable, has a pleasant effect on the wrist and does not carry on as wide leather hand straps that are also made for a more stable camera pose. These are too wide. One should expect for the price not high-end leather products. That I do not need. The metal parts of the loop does not bother me. They are rounded and hit in the pocket also not big on the camera body, which is also not indeed made of icing.
