Don't think of them as neck straps, Adam, particularly for one or two
cameras - think of them as shoulder straps. And try the Domke straps -
woven cloth of some sort with rubber threads running through the
underside.

I have one of these new-fangled bags that slings over one shoulder -
they are supposed to be back-friendly in some way. I can put an M6 and
two lenses, a spot meter, and a LOT of film. Works great and the camera
is easy to get at.

I HATE neck straps but can't find a wrist strap I like. I used to have a
metal-armoured one that I got years and years ago. So now I sorta wrap
the neck strap around my wrist a few times - but it always gets in the
way. I dislike having a camera hanging from my neck unless I'm carrying
two or three like the R8 and two M6's.
