I use a hand grip and an open bag with a shoulder strap. Yes, it could fall out but its deep and I can extract the camera quickly. -----Original Message----- From: Toine <to...@repiuk.nl> Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 14:57:09 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List<pdml@pdml.net> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: Re: Thoughts between the two
Reading that blog I see that I'm not alone in my frustrations with camera straps. I hate anything, including camera's and ties, hanging from my neck. The short standard camera neck straps are extremely annoying. The camdapter hand strap combined with a Optech shoulder strap is what I use now. I'll try the camdapter sling and the next option is the Luma. Maybe mounting an L bracket is an option but L brackets on the K20 block the little door on the left side...
