One of Galen Rowell's last columns for Outdoor Photographer was about the difficulty of finding any good way of carrying a camera while running. He used a chest-pack that is no longer made and he was hoping to convince someone else to take up manufacture of such an item. I carry my MX with 43/1.9 in a standard belt-type pack when I want to take a camera on a run. Usually have to stuff it with some kind of padding to keep it from bruising me. Even so I wouldn't want to take it much longer than 10-12 miles. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com Photography and writing
