I have all my cameras fitted with doodads made from cut-down conference name badges (the kind that has a channel into which you fit a slip of paper, and then snap in a bit of clear plastic to cover it) which hold the end of the film box. Remove the pin on the back, trim to the width of the end of a cassette box, glue a piece of leather on the back large enough to loop round your strap, and you're done. About half an hour's work with scissors, a hot knife and a tube of superglue. Because they go round the strap rather than get stuck on the camera like the film type indicators you buy in shops, they don't damage the finish. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- jack@purr.demon.co.uk - Jack Campin, 2 Haddington Place, Edinburgh EH7 4AE
