Just purchased a used 300 2.8 II lens and need to know what would be the best shoulder strap for it. It will be attached to a 1DX so the total weight is heavy.

LJ3Jim Goldmember More info | Jan 24, 2015 22:49 | #2 I love my BlackRapid straps. I have the RS-7 as a single strap and the Yeti as a dual strap. These handle the weight of the 300 II very well. I do have arca-swiss plates on most of my gear, so I got arca-swiss clamps to put on the straps. Works great for me. Image editing ok; C&C always welcome.

Shouldn't be a problem for the 300 2.8. Peak Design's biggest strap is 2 inches wide. Kind of like a seat belt and one side is anti-slip for shoulder carry. It might do the trick. Sometimes not taking a photograph can be as problematic as taking one. - Alex Webb

With a short strap it's too difficult to swing the lens into position when it's hanging by my side. Frank Hollis - Retired mass spectroscopist
