The Magnum photographers all seem to wear their cameras just above the belt, and this strikes me as ergonomically peculiar. I keep the strap as short as possible, so the that the camera doesn't swing about when I'm running, and the distance from chest to eye is minimal. (It sits on my solar plexus, approximately.) Rollei TLRs are similar: I've never understood why anyone would want the camera hanging at waist level, when you have to lift it to your face to focus. Douglas Cooper
