I dunno...mine have shoulder straps (smile) I think I have put them around my neck only a couple of times when there was a danger of my camera falling while I was climbing or something.

 How many people out there use neck straps and actually carry the camera
that way? For people that don't, do you find that a wrist strap would work
as well? I've got plenty of webbing and line around I could use to make
myself a wrist strap, so I'm tempted to try it, but I thought I'd check in
case I'm missing something vital here. [1]

[1] for instance, the instructions for the Rolleiflex I have say you should
use the neck strap to get stability; because the viewfinder there's on the
top of the camera, I can just pull the camera down away from me and still
see what's going on, but lose shake because things are in tension. This
doesn't apply to OMs, though (without some sort of wacky super-extendo
varimagni finder, at least)
