I own a Zone VI field bag for my field camera. This is the large white bag avail able at the Calumet shops. I have found this bag to be very good, and was supris ed to hear from the clerk at the shop that they were not popular. I find that it holds all my gear and is easy to use in the field.

My question is: what is the small thin strap that comes with the bag for? On a r ecent trip to Arizona, I found the bag a little heavey, and am hoping that this strap can be employed in some way to eleviate some of that weight. Also, I have read that the bag can be used as a back pack. Does anyone know how this is done?

Thaks, Bill
