Seeing the subject line "Hunt show" and the recent discussion of the E-1
I was reminded that Hunt was the only place I've ever seen an E-1. When
I went back a week or two later to consider whether I really wanted to
buy one it was gone, apparently, never to return. I've never seen another.

Moose has a point about the "steal me" elegant look--flat black think tank does
not.
Appreciate Chuck clarifying how it hold the 'pod but would need to try it to
see how cumbersome it was. Would't buy any bag w/o trying it and still make
suboptimal decisions.
Hunt show featured a myriad of new fangled straps. I thought one might be
better for Moose than two cams around his neck and better for me cahsing
critters with cam/lenses binocs,
but they are hard to figure out. The designer of BosStrap was at the show and
recommended this item for cam on side and binocs around neck:

(no she wasn't there, darn)
Not sure I like a cam hanging on one lug.
PD also has quite a selection and they are firmly held with QR plate--I tried
them, quite cool, but could not figure out in short time an optimal
configuration for me.
another reason not to rush:

Suspect they fixed it but would ck to be sure.
Soemthing is squirrely with their website today too.
