If I carry a camera via strap, it is almost always on my shoulder, hardly ever around my neck. Feels better, less obtrusive.
One camera setup: camera on right shoulder when basically just moving from point A to point B, and then camera in hand (well, kinda hanging from two fingers and thumb) with strap wrapped a couple of times around my wrist when within obvious range of photo ops. Two camera setup: main camera in (dangling from) right hand as above, second camera on left shoulder. When I use the second camera, the first just dangles from my wrist. If I am going to be on a bus, subway, in a car etc. then the second camera goes into the backpack. I really liked the "grip strap" on the Pz-1p but haven't found anything with the same comfortable secure feel that I can use on *ist- D, K10D etc. Back on the Subject topic, I really want the DA*60-250. If it looks like that will keep getting pushed back, then I'll go for one K20D body to replace one of my K10's. But if the lens and body were both available now, I would buy the lens first with no hesitation. stan On Jan 24, 2008, at 11:38 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In a message dated 1/24/2008 9:31:27 P.M.
