That's what I did, just cradle it with my left hand, and work it with my 
right. The 45 degree prism helped, I never took to the WL too well. With my 
500ELX, it was even easier.

I'd ask at HUG, but they are awfully quiet people :-)

So how do people (used to) carry their Hasselblads? For anything over 20
feet, of course I'd put it back into the bag and carry the bag. However, how
about just moving around, looking for the shots etc. I don't have a
neckstrap and I can't imagine it would work. I usually just sort of cradle
it but it's touch to do when you need two hands to move and adjust the
tripod.

I suppose the CW Winder may be useful? But at 1 1/2 lbs, that's quite a bit
of more weight?
