I agree.

"IQ Reduction Mode" is required for caps when used in conjunction with an SLR.

Unless you're using LiveView, but then maybe you're already operating in low-IQ 
mode then!

I have several floppy brim boonie hats (similar to these) that I wear 
when I need a hat to shade my eyes:

The brim pushes up out of the way when I bring the camera viewfinder to 
my eye, but they otherwise are quite effective shading my eyes from 
harsh sunlight.

Works fine for me until I try shooting in portrait orientation.  In that case I 
usually turn my cap around backwards.  If I had a grip with the extra shutter 
release then I'd probably be OK that way too.

Pointing a cap to one side is quite stylish at the moment... (not in my 
opinion, but I've never been stylish).

That's why I bought a Leica! It would have been cheaper to buy a fez.

In fact, I do swivel my cap from time to time, but always furtively and for
as short a time as I can.

Silly...!!  You put the hat on facing the usual way, then turn it to 
engage the latches so it doesn't blow off.  Some lock at a quarter turn, 
some at a half turn.


I thought everybody knew that...   ; >)

Nice one, P.J.  I had a similar problem when shooting the construction story.  
I had to turn my hardhat backwards, as that hard bill kept hitting the camera.

yeah but the better the camera, the less likely you are to miss the shot.
