These were designed by Bob Schwalberg of Pop Photo in the fifties. I liked the first one I bought in 1972 so much I went out and got enough to fit to all my personal cameras and all the equipment at our lab. They haven't been made in years, but I wanted to put in a good word for them(I can't stand those wide nylon things). All of ours are still going strong. One feature that swayed me was the spring catch on one side that allows me to wear my M3 and coll. 50 under a coat. It's quick to lengthen or shorten too, so you can wear two cameras, one over the other. BTW, we have Nikon F2s and Canon EOS AF in our inventory, but when I need to really nail the best focus, I use an M42 with winder. I always tell people if I was resricted to one camera for the rest of my life, it would be my M3 and 50 mm collapsible Summicron.
