Yes, I've had it since the end of June and love it.
How in the world did you hold a D200 while riding? Do you have some kind of wrist/hand grip on that?
Jealous of your aurora! But I've always been underwhelmed by Hollywood Pro bikes.
I have the strap around my neck and shoulder, the same as my messenger bag, so it rests against my chest. In this position it's easy to aim and click the shutter with my thumb while keeping one hand on the handlebar. Of course, since i'm just shooting without looking, a lot of the shots aren't useable. Either out of focus or nothing good in the frame.
Hollywood Pro... well, I don't really have much of an opinion myself. I bought my bike there because I wanted a Jamis and they were the only dealer I could find in town at the time. They changed their hours recently to closed on Saturdays, which pretty much guaranteed I won't be able to go back because it clashes with my work hours. *shrug* I actually live closer to Orange20 bikes, so maybe i'll go there. It seems to have a hipster type image, but I bought my Bailey Works bag there and the guys working were super friendly and helpful.
