Streetshooter and M8

Streetshooter and M8

I bought one of the original ones to use with my M8 and it was a very snug fit - too snug - but it looks like they've developed another one specially for the M8.

I got it to see if it would lessen the risk of dropping a lens while changing and it certainly gives you a free hand. Where you wear the Streetshooter is important because if you wear it on your side then it can be quite a twist to get at the camera to change a lens, which can be awkward. And if you wear it in front you look particularly odd.

The other concern with wearing it at the side is that there is a tendency to bash the camera against things as you walk by - obviously the longer the lens the higher the risk.

And the weight does tend to encourage one's trousers to travel southwards. :rolleyes:

For me it's one of those things that looks like a great idea until you actually use it and then you discover the drawbacks. Sadly mine is gathering dust ...

Pete.
