Rich,

Thanks for the reply.  When I am travelling light (just walking around), I
don't want to carry a bag. They keep falling off my shoulder or make a pain
of themselves in some way. I also sometimes need both hands to do something
at least once. As a result, my M6 is around my neck with the lens I think is
appropriate (35 usually) and another lens (75 or 90) is in a fanny pack with
some film.  I have neck problems, so I would like to get the camera off the
strap, but I haven't found a way that works for me. At least the M6
Rapidwinder Asph Summilux is lighter than my F4 and short zoom!

Ken
