Best comment: "Also carries medium-sized watermelons." I have a camera bag which I use for the D750 + 24mm~70mm lens, also a flash, lens wipes etc. Its about the same size as the top section of said holster. I have a problem if, as I occasionally do, I want to wander around with with the D750 + 70mm~200mm f/2.8 lens as I have no compact bag to carry it in. The Think Tank holster interests me as it may be the answer to my problem. As for walking huge distances with it: I try to avoid walking huge distances with any collection of gear. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Best comment: "Also carries medium-sized watermelons." Can't see the point. I'd use a suitable small-ish backpack if I didn't need to be ready to shoot, and a diagonal strap carrying it in the same position, with lens hood on and lens cap off if I wanted to be ready. |

I just bought a Cotton Carrier G3 on the recommendation of a biologist who does a lot of field work with a big telephoto and lots of other gear.

Love it! https://www.adorama.com/ccc686grey.html I could see myself going for that if I was doing a lot of wildlife or sports, especially with FF. Although I would probably want a monopod and Arca connector in that case, is that compatible with the fitting? I find with the X-T3, grip, and 100-400 with or without the 1.4TC that a long strap worn diagonally over left shoulder with quick-detach clips, one on the left hand side fitting and one on the bar on the bottom of the grip works well. With the body just above the belt and lens hanging more or less straight down. I can walk like that, but get the camera switched on and to my eye in a second. |

Best comment: "Also carries medium-sized watermelons." The size and shape is a bit similar to the standard case for a Canon FL-mount 85-310 zoom, with camera mounted. The case I'm looking for is to carry my 1200mm Canon FL lens, and Davis & Sanford tripod with Majestic head. Roughly 40" of length and 60 pounds of weight total. -- Ken Hart |

You're not looking for a case; you're looking for a wheelbarrow. Got something against modern carbon-fiber tripods? They can take a lot of weight. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |
