I just switched to Domkes for my shoot this weekend at the G20
demonstrations.  It turns out I prefer them quite a bit to the standard M6
straps.  One nice feature was that I was wearing a Domke photogeek vest,
and I unsnapped the strap from my main camera and clipped the body to the
D-rings on the vest.  It turned out to be a very secure and comfortable
arrangement.

Film at 11:00.
