I tried a wrist strap, struggled with it for a week before I ditched it, I just couldn't come to grips with it.

I got it more for its comfort around the neck, I have never really taken any noticed of its slip and non slip characteristics. I generally have it sitting directly on my neck (not over a collar)and I don't notice any undue slipping.
As for its length, I have it adjusted as tight as it will go and the camera sits just above my bellybutton. Hope that helps

Yes Mike the card bag does come off, I have never used it.
Its made of neoprene and very good quality as you would expect from Lowepro. Thoroughly recommended

The lowepro voyager C is what I use, It has quick releases which leave about 4 inches of strap left on the body when its removed. A very comfortable strap, I have 2, one on my K20 and one on my DS.

I have sent him a message asking for some some pics, and if the hood is original.
I'm not tempted to buy it (at least I don't think I am ) Just curious.
He is off loading all his high end Pentax gear it appears.

AU$1300 does seem a little steep to me, the last one I saw was around AU$800 but that was some time ago. It does seem quite sharp.
The review seemed to suggest 600 USD

If I had not just decided to sell my DA 55-300mm and Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 APO EX to help fund a 60-250mm f4 I may well have had a go at it.
I got sick of waiting for the 60-250 and recently purchased a Tamron 70-200 f2.8 + matching 1.5x adapter, which I am very pleased with. Clarky wrote:

Very rare to see one of those come up for sale, from what I have seen the quality is on a par with the Pentax 200mm f4 macro.C'mon Mike P you know you want it.
If I had not just decided to sell my DA 55-300mm and Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 APO EX to help fund a 60-250mm f4 I may well have had a go at it.
The price on the 60-250 will have to come down significantly before I am tempted to switch.
So why do you see it necessary to change your Sigma for one ::
