Hi Bambamg, I shoot mostly motorsports, portraits and kids using EOS 1n and EOS 1nRS bodies almost always with a power booster mounted (I haven't found any reason to take them off except for the size and weight they add 8^)), so the strap lug positions and numbers are all the same for your EOS 3/PB-E2 combo. As I recall there is no bottom strap lug on the BG+ED3 battery grip, if this is correct the handstrap will not work with the EOS D30/60 as the hand strap needs a lower attachment point to loop around. Where you'll be using only one body with a booster or working in a studio or controlled space the Canon handstrap is great! The problem comes when you need two or more bodies and are working while roving or mobile, where do you put the one with the handstrap? I know, I know you give it to your assistant, ha, ha! I can't afford an assistant! Anyway there is not a good way to use a regular shoulder strap and the handstrap simultaneously.
