Me too. Domke straps is the first thing I tell my photo friends about if
they ask my advise about gear type stuff.
To me nothing looks worse than just about any other strap.

But for my IIIF have a very simple artisan and artist cloth strap I got from
Photovillage http://www.artisanandartist.com/straps/acam102.htm
Which is a cross between a wrist strap almost and neck strap. Its kind of
short and non adjustable. Which is a good thing its kind of a new thing you
have to change your mind set a little and workflo. Normally my workflo is
kill people who use the word "workflo" now I'm doing it.
I seldom have a camera around my neck for more than 45 seconds when i'm
making change a the Plaid Pantry. I keep the strap around my wrist.

I never hang it over a shoulder. I don't trust my shoulder.
