Hi Folks
I carry my 1D MIIN and 100-400mm lens with 1.4x converter attached using
one of the top ones on this page: http://www.warehouseexpress.co.uk/?photo/camstraps/optech.html - the straps are so good and comfortable that I even got one for my bins too!
I began using these when I nearly had a serious disaster with my old 20D - the straps that Canon provide can (with the weight of such a lens) slip at the attachment point. Luckily I just managed to stick my ample gut out in time to delay the kit's descent and grab it before it all hit the ground (concrete at the time) LOL With a heaver kit I always say "don't use the Canon strap"!
I find carting around a padded bag as well as this kit (and all that goes with it, e.g. monopod/tripod) too heavy - so I just put the camera & lens in one of these:
http://www.warehouseexpress.co.uk/?photo/cameracovers/keatley.html - (you can get waterproof ones) and just carry the whole lot by the Optech camera strap slung over one shoulder.
Best wishes
Didi
