[Leica] camera/bag strap question

[Lluis Ripoll]

I life in Barcelona, I’m shooting on the streets since more   than 30 years ago, I’ve never had an issue. But also I act carefully, I never leave my camera on a table of a Bar, or on the floor without be attached to me, normally I carry my bag crosed and I always try to look around me. Be careful in the same manner you’ll be in NYC or any other big city.
