I have had my money maker (water buffalo burgundy with brass hardware) for a long time. I added the pads for more comfort. When shooting events, I get a lot of compliments on my money maker. Unfortunately, the hardware choice is no longer an option. I was hoping to get another original money maker, all black. These harnesses are well worth the money, pardon the pun. They are comfortable, quality-made, and stand out among other carry systems. The only thing I have had to do is replace my quiet accessory clips because of many years of use; the metal was worn down. If you are a wedding photographer or event photographer, it is essential for dual-camera shooting.
