It is a harness that takes the weight off the neck entirely. I use one to carry my Leica or Swarovski binoculars when birding/hiking, and my Nikon F4s with tele (during those increasingly rare times when I use it). I swear, with one of these you can walk and not even feel you are carrying binoculars or a heavy SLR and still have it ready for instant use. With the camera you need to adjust the strap a bit longer to allow easy vertical framing, but this is not a problem in practice. here is a website that shows what I am talking about. I know there are better illustrations of this kind of harness, but at 0600, with only half a cup of coffee under my belt, this is the best I could do! http://americanbirding.org/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ASBS&Product_Code=971&Category_Code=OACC cheers Jack McLain Tucson, AZ http://jackmclain-photography.dotcommunity.net - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Håkan Dennersten" <hd@hd.pp.se> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 1:28 AM Subject: SV: [Leica] Assistance on a Camera Bag > > > I have a large backpack from Lowepro and its not so good for > > your need i think.I would use a large backpack and put the > > camera etc in a small bag inside the backpack. > > > That is exactly what i am doing today, and that always ends up with no > pictures taken during walking.
