[Leica] Strap Height

[rpalmier at depaul.edu (Bob Palmieri)]

Folks -

Ducking in to the LUG for my occasional few minutes per week I'd like 
to offer a little tip I picked up this evening while shooting in the 
apartment of a Chicago jazz musician.

As one who constantly reexamines the variables of shooting strategies 
(film/films, camera/cameras, lens/lenses, filters/no filters, hoods, 
caps, bags, jacket pockets, shoulder straps/wrist straps, etc...) I'd 
like to present the following observation.

If you're using a shoulder strap and hanging your camera at your side, 
the strap height should not be equal to the  height of a standard brass 
doorknob; 'specially if you like to hang your rig with the lens facing 
out.
