My 10 cent solution is to loop the wide 'ist' strap through a one inch keyring. My hand goes through the loop and I snug it up to my wrist. The strap is wide enough that it doesn't slip easily through the ring, so it holds tight.
I find this less cumbersome and awkward than wrapping the strap around my hand. The camera is securely fastened to me in case it should slip from my hand and it cannot fall. It only takes a second to remove the keyring if I want to use the strap as a shoulder strap. Works well for me.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Widall, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.ist.uwaterloo.ca/~fwwidall Images: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fwwidall/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
