If it's got strap lugs on both sides, adjust the strap length so that you can grasp it in both hands and push it out against the neck strap. While doing that, pull your elbows into your stomach. You now have an *extremely* stable shooting position. Based on my tests, it appears to be much more stable than any pulled-into-the-face position I've tried with film or digital SLRs. (Of course the absence of mirror slap helps too.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Photos: <dd-b.lighthunters.net> Snapshots: <www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
