I normally shoot with at least two bodies, sometimes 3 with different lenses and or film so I don't have to change lenses as often.... having straps makes it easier to shoot and faster too in my opinion as I don't have to stick my hand in the bag to get it out and I don't have to put one away... (and if you have a strap, you can also put the camera in the bag on the floor without bending over) More importantly, it would seem to be a whole lot easier to change film and lenses with the body on a strap.... and if you start to fall..... You don't want a camera in your hand... An even further benefit is that I've never dropped a body that had a strap over my shoulder or around my neck.... Ted tells of a shoot where he had something like 7 M and R bodies with lenses around his neck for a shoot.... But I'll let him give you the specifics... I wouldn't recommend going strapless unless the camera is mounted on a tripod in a studio...... but if it makes you feel any better..... my lenses do normally go capless : ) Duane HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador Duane's Photographs of Ecuador http://ecuadorphotos.tripod.com > Before Benedict Rabiner convinced me otherwise, I was mostly a strap guy. > > Now I'm 100% strapless.
