Question:

I use a shoulder strap akin to the Black Rapid and love it - it attaches to the lens tripod collar. And if I switch lenses out in the field - I like how the lens is available at my side when ready to switch again.

However when I do switch lenses - my camera body no longer has a strap and my right hand gets fatigued carrying it.

Does anyone have a DSLR body hand strap they like that does not interfere (too much) with the tripod mount - or in any case please point me to a convenient hand strap you have good experience with.

Thank-you

I too have the same sort of strap, way more comfy than hanging around your neck, I got 3 attachment rings for the carboneer with mine so when not using the big lense I swap over to the attachment on the cam body. I like the way the strap does not interfere with my back pack. I advise you get a safety strap just incase of failure as it will stop your cam hitting the floor should it fail.

I posted several similar images in the "Shoot The Moon" thread, but thought I'd share one here, since this lens is so valuable in getting this shot:

I've only had the Sigma 150-600C and the Sigma x1.4 a couple of weeks, but I thought I might contribute.

I think I need a little more practice with the wildlife, or maybe use the monopod (had similiar issues early on with the Canon 100-400.

Also, pleased report that the Sigma x1.4 works with my 70-200 II 2.8 on the 5D3 (as a bonus):

Nice find mate, is that something you see often? We have slow worms and grass snakes but I've never heard of an adder locally.

Meanwhile, whilst I have the opportunity, it's my turn to "over" owl the forum
