I'm not that well connected, but haven't heard peep one across NPPA-L, and I'd expect to hear about it either there or here. > Why is the Domke strap preferable, if I may ask?

I usually carry cameras over my left shoulder and neck, with my bag on the right, and when I pulled the camera on my left up to my eye to shoot, the upstrap pad dug in and bound, and wouldn't allow me enough slack. When I shrugged it loose, it slid all the way down to my elbow and sat there swinging like a several-ounce pendulum, shaking my arm and driving me crazier than I already am. Great idea, well made, just didn't suit the way I work. It was wonderful for carrying the camera when I wasn't trying to USE it, though.... (I also like the quick releases on the domke; when I've got the cameras on tripods I can tie them on, just in case. I'm a BIG fan of leashes.) -- R.
