I just never thought of it being a problem? as it wasn't? CAMERA-UP ==CLICK! And yes even using SPEED GRAPHI's! :-) The only time it caused a problem was during a football game and coming across field from my right were 3 defensive players who all hit me right at the side line along with the ball carrying offensive player!!! No broken LEICA cameras! but body physically well bent and bruised! I HURT FOR TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-( CHEERS, Ted Grant O.C.
