They had them as I recall displayed on dummies with no heads. No Shalom Harlow. But my point here is (how often do the Nikons and Leicas crash into each other) without the straps we have no kit. We are not wearing our cameras and such a statement is not being made. I think of Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now. Mark Rabiner
