I'm hoping that in a year or two, I'll be able to afford a GFX100. And I'd like to get the 110-200 lens with it, which is heavy: 41oz, as I recall.

1) Is my cotton carrier a good choice for carrying this combo? The height of the camera worries me.

2) What would be a good way to carry a second of the same body? It would have the 45-100 lens, which is also quite heavy. I could use the side carrier, but I suspect that I'd get quite fatigued with that much weight on my side. Is there a better option?

I carried a 1DIV/100-400L on a wrist strap. Still carry a. 645N/80-160 on a wrist strap. Never needed more than that. Sometimes get by with less.

I'm very impressed. I suppose that if you're okay with a wrist strap, I should be fine with the cotton carrier.

I actually keep the grip of the camera in my hand. The wrist strap is just a safety device. That is not much of a solution if you need to carry two cameras. I very seldom even take two lenses out with me.

You should have seen me the times that I had three bodies on me.
