I combined my hand strap and neck strap into a hybrid of the two, this lets me use the hand strap most of the time but if I need the security of the neck strap I can use it also.

I have a camera strap. With a grip I used both. Just too tight for me to use a hand strap without the extra room of a grip.

No strap, I have a belt holster with another camera in it. I switch them in and out of the belt holster.

I use a Herringbone hand strap and Canon OES neck strap. Seems to work fine.

You guys who don't use a strap aren't lugging around a ten pound lens are you?

. . . or multiple cameras. Which is why I use the OpTech neck straps. One camera around my neck and the other over the shoulder. Hand straps won't work too well when you're juggling 2 cameras either.

That too, I forgot to mention that part. I use the OpTech as well and have been very happy with them. It really makes that beast feel a lot lighter.

Very frequently a 300mm f4 with a 1.4x.

I bloody hate straps.

Strap across my body like a messenger bag. It's out of the way but close enough that I can pick up the camera quickly. Also I'm too afraid to go strapless!

Somewhere in the three pound range. A world of difference on a long hike. It's ok if you hate bloody straps. It's a personal preference. Some like them some don't. I'm not fond of them but I find it to be a valuable tool for me, that's all. Pretty hard for me to be passionate about the subject.

Doubtless I could google it but I have no idea what a "pound" is in real money.
