Having nearly put my camera on the floor through catching a trailing neck strap I am looking for a quick release system for removing the neck strap when I want to hand hold my camera.

I have tried a split ring similar to general use for keys but the metal against the camera is not good.

I am sure there is such a solution to this problem. Can anyone kindly point me to such.

When I like to travel light, I use the multi pocketed waistcoat designs, super in summer and with a long sleeve jumper under in colder weather. There are very light versions and padded versions if you are a cold mortal, which I am not.
I can carry my 300mm plus my macro 100mm in my two different design waistcoat versions.
Guess it is what you are comfortable with.

Thanks for your confirmation. It was one of those purchases with a load of other gear with no paperwork.
He just needed to be sure, so thanks again.

Checking for a friend that the above are safe to use together. I seem to remember that Pentax cameras are safe up to 600v. Just want to be sure that I give the correct information.

A very benign looking bovine, I might say. No real evil in its eyes. Love the pic. Eyelashes fit for the lasses.

Hi Stefan. It's been like one of the family have gone on a very long holiday. I have missed you. Welcome back and do hang around, please.

Still painting that fence, no doubt. Not using red paint, I suppose.

Not half as exciting as stalking a kingfisher looking for a meal, and far more peaceful and no petrol fumes. But! Each to their own.

Hey. Chris. That first one had me and the missus in fits. Had it been me looking it might have been a different reaction.
Makes me want to pick up the trusty 35mm again.

Peter. You are so kind I don't know how to thank you for your willingness to help, but let me give you an update.
A friend has visited me who has a very good technician on the mainland.
My friend has downloaded a programme called crossloop that does the same as your programme and allows remote control. It was facinating to watch what happened.
This mainland technician has spent the last hour trying to remove those files and has failed.
He now advises me that somewhere in the Vista files is a programme that is preventing the removal of the files. He is guessing that there is not all the vista files on this drive, and being fragmented, it is not possible to remove them without removing the hard drive and reformatting using a different programme other than a windows one.
It is all beyond me. My friend is going to take the drive to someone else!! who will attempt to reformat it. I don't hold my breath on this one.
Lets see what happens.
regards thoramay.
