This keeps the red gravy, garlic butter and such from splashing the lens.<<<<<<<< ABSOLUTELY! Often I've seen photographers hang their cameras on the back post of their chair. "A PERFECT LOCATION FOR STEALING!" Certainly when their attention is focused on feeding themselves!" POOF! Camera is gone until they're ready to get up! :-)Never on the table unless it's a "STACKING EVENT!" As soon as you're seated comfortably the neck strap is hung over the upper part of your leg........ "LENS FACING INTO YOUR LEG ON THE INSIDE!" It's called some kind of protection? If you have more than one camera they're hung on both legs in this fashion! "NEVER PUT THEM ON THE FLOOR!" Common sense answers that one! When they hang on your leg, dinner is over and you're about to get up the weight of the camera on your leg reminds you where it is. You retrieve it, hang on shoulder or neck and move on. In this "on the leg fashion" as Sonny points out! You will always have it in safe keeping and for instant retrieval if required! cheers, Dr. ted :-)
