Actually, my assistant says that if I get one of the belt systems he'll fire me. Says he doesn't want to look like Batman. OTOH, I'm the idiot who ends up climbing water towers, or onto roofs of hangars or other places requiring the use of both hands so the belt system sounds real appealing. One of the nice things about Lightware's pouches is that some of them have drawstring tops with rain covers for ultimate security and safety. They have Polaroid back pouches, meter pouches, phone, radio, water bottle versions. Even one for exposed and/or unexposed film. Finally, I can't handle the waist-level finder. For some reason it always moves the oppositte direction from which I move the camera. Fun for aerials. - -- Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/
