Survey: camera straps
"Jürgen Exner" wrote in message news:A2DCi.4943$5x2.4529@trndny07... Roger N. Clark (change username to rnclark) wrote: This leads to another question for DSLR owners: How do you change lenses without a tripod? You have 3 objects: camera, lens on the camera to be removed, and lens to be put on the camera. You have two hands. You forgot items #4 and maybe 5: at least one, maybe 2 lens caps at the mounting ends of the lenses. Sometimes a well-trained octopus would come in handy... jue I find a table, or other flat surface, like the trunk of my car before attempting to juggle lenses....They not only have front and rear caps, but I keep them in cases, leather, and sometimes with zippers....It's definitely not a job to do standing up in a canoe...... |

Survey: camera straps
Y, N only. ========== 1) Do you have a strap on your camera(s)? 2) Do you use it all of the time without exception when handholding? 3) Do you use it half / most of the time when handholding? 4) Do you use it only some of the time when handholding? (separately posted to rpe.35mm as well) |

Define "use it." E.g., is it actually being used as a brace to aid in stability, or just around your neck/shoulder? -- www.mattclara.com |

Y, N only. ========== Sorry! 1) Do you have a strap on your camera(s)? 2) Do you use it all of the time without exception when handholding? 3) Do you use it half / most of the time when handholding? 4) Do you use it only some of the time when handholding? I try to have the strap around an arm both handheld and on a monopod; seldom around the neck. -- John McWilliams |

Survey: camera straps
"Alan Browne" wrote in message ... [ camera shoulder straps...] Y, N only. This doesn't permit adequate responses - it's too simple to be useful. 1) Do you have a [shoulder] strap on your camera(s)? N - I remove them immediately upon receiving/keeping a camera - can't stand those dang things getting in the way. I make a wrist strap out of a shoe lace and use it when the camera is in my hand and not stashed in the camera bag or on a tripod. Can't stand those dangly lens caps, either - I take the lens cap off and put it in the bag. 2) Do you use it all of the time without exception when handholding? Y - For the wrist strap. 3) Do you use it half / most of the time when handholding? (See above...) 4) Do you use it only some of the time when handholding? (See above...) -- David Ruether http://www.donferrario.com/ruether |

This leads to another question for DSLR owners: How do you change lenses without a tripod? You have 3 objects: camera, lens on the camera to be removed, and lens to be put on the camera. You have two hands. I use the strap around my neck to hold the camera, then with lens in one hand, I remove the lens on the camera and slide the new lens over the camera lens mount, minimizing time and opening around the camera mount. With this technique, I rarely have dust problems. For example, I have needed to clean my 1D Mark II only twice this entire year, and that includes two weeks shooting in dusty Africa, as well as in a house construction zone, a trip to the Tetons, and general photography. The dust was simply and quickly blown off with a blower. Roger |
