When hand-holding the camera with
the waist-level finder attached, adjust
the length of the neck strap to take up

all slack and support the camera against

the body. As accessories, Mamiya
offers a selection of hand grips which

not only help to eliminate  camera-
shake, but are also convenient for
carrying the camera.
