You might also want to consider Lightware's new line of Grip Strip
pouches. Essentially, it's a padded belt system (although you can use a
belt of your choice) with a variety of different pouches of all sizes
and paddings. I have the Deluxe Press Pass pouch which I can wear around
my neck or on the belt. What I particularly like about it, as well as
the other pouches in this line, is that you don't have to unbuckle your
belt to put it on. The strap is heavily velcroedŽ so all you have to do
is unhook it, slip it over your belt and then it's secure. I'm
considering several of the other pouches for Hasselblad lenses when I'm
working away from my case as well as something to carry Leica "stuff".
