The neck strap is OK bur not easy to manage if your taking photos every couple minutes so I usually take it off. When I put it back on I have to be careful it is fully attached. Now I'm carrying it around in a small Benser case I have for my M bodies. Fits body with 80mm and 150 with hoods not attached small light meter and film.
