When I go to events where I want to shoot a lot of candids, I wear two M's
on my chest with leather Strapateers, one long, one shorter. I use these
straps on all my cameras, since they can be adjusted for length very
rapidly.

The M2 is on top with 28mm, 35mm or 50mm, the M3 below, with 85mm or 90mm.
B&W in both.  I also have short wooden handles on them, ala Gene Smith, to
give me a nice grip on the bodies.
