That's pretty much how I do it, too. It works pretty well if I'm switching big, heavy lenses around; the camera is supported by the neck strap, and I've got my left hand holding the lens. Of course I'm left-handed, so what is convenient for me might not be quite as convenient for the rest of the world. Guess how much I care - I have to suffer enough living in a right- handed world; it's good karma if some things work better for me. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
