Yes
:lol: Bet that opened a few eyes.:D

The problem I am having is my 40D just wont carry comfortably on the neck strap that is provided.

When I wear the neck strap the camera sits on my side or front and refuses to hang down and sticks out like a bloody great "erection" which I find annoying.

I'm worried that being as clumsy as I am that sticking out like this the lens will get knocked.

Is there a better solution than the neck strap arrangement to make it hang with the lens down?
 
you need a talkphotography op/tech strap !


The camera won't sit 100% as you want, but you'll be more comfortable and you'll look :cool:
 
Get an E1 wrist strap anything else is just silly:thumbs::wave:

I can see the merits in one of them but I don't have an attachment for a wrist strap.

Do i need a battery grip fitted to use one of them?

The R strap looks as if it might be better for walk about scenarios or is it just a gimmick.

Has anyone tried one out?
 
yes you do, i find the cameras position when held on the neck strap is more to do with the size/weight of the lens, anjd as far as im aware you do need a battery grip fitted for the wrist strap, atleast thats the case with the canon one anyway
 
The Canon one you need a grip attched however there are others that come supplied with an attachment for the bottom strap to fit into, this fits into the screw hole for the tripod HTH :thumbs:

If im carrying either of my cameras with a biggish lens on i usually turn the camera round so the eyepiece side is against my body, this allows the lens to hang down rather than out ?

I'm not carrying a big lens, it's only the kit lens.

I have tried this method and it works better but is not ideal, I get the feeling the strap tabs should be in the middle or bottom of the body and not the top.

I might bite the bullet and buy a r strap and see how i get on with that.
