Okay, I also have a Bronica S2a, so this question would apply to it also.
I have a Bronica ETRSi and the motor drive. At about 5 pounds this is quite a heavy combination! I use a Black Rapid sling with my Pentax K 5 and battery grip; the sling is very convenient. As most of you probably know the sling attaches to the camera's tripod socket. There have been discussions here and there whether or not a given camera's tripod socket is strong enough to support the full weight of the camera, since in some cases - such as a TLR - the camera is always upright on a tripod. Any thoughts from fellow users?
