I did that in the sixties in North Africa, when carrying a camera openly or being seen to take a picture of a person was not necessarily healthy. In this manner I could whip out the camera, take the picture, and let the camera drop back under my jacket without the person whose picture I had taken would realize what had occurred. The only problem was that wearing a tweed jacket (what I had with me) in June/July in the northern Sahara required more dedication than I might now be able to come up with. * Henning J.
