Has anyone used one of these? If so how well does it work with the bigger lenses (500, 600)?

I have this chest harness and I find it quite comfortable.

I have been using it mostly with a 50D and the 400 f5.6 and occasionally with my 500 f4

I got it originally from France, and since then some improvements were made by the manufacturer to ensure that the 500 will be carried safely. Namely the back and the straps were improved.

I used to have neck problems with other carrying straps, nothing since using the Safari from Trekking.

I also like the fact that I can attach my binoculars or some other accessory, and I love the two memory cards pouches on the shoulder straps.

Hey André,

How do you attach the 500/400 with this strap ?

Or do you just attach the camera ?
