But the official Hassy wide strap like any Hassy item used to be sky high, maybe over a hundred bucks but can now be found for a couple of bucks. Very proably cheaper than a new op tec. But it is stiff and uncomfortable. But I am in the "not in the way" camp. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner > From: Michiel Fokkema <michiel.fokkema at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 07:35:21 +0200 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] OT: Speaking of Hasselblad... > > I use a neckstrap over my shoulder. > > Cheers, > > Michiel Fokkema > > On 19-4-2011 2:45, Richard Man wrote: >> I'd ask at HUG, but they are awfully quiet people :-) >> >> So how do people (used to) carry their Hasselblads?
