[QUOTE="hark, post: 735676, member: 13196"] I don't own one of the super zooms such as the 150-600mm, but I do own the Think Tank belt and use a couple different size holsters for body/lens combos. In fact, I tend to use the holsters more than taking a regular camera bag with me. You can leave the lid unzipped but keep the flap over the camera when wearing the holster attached to the belt. That way it will keep dust from getting inside the compartment but still make it easy to grab. However typically I only wear the belt/hostler if I am carrying more than one body/lens combo. Otherwise, I just use a Blackrapid Sport Strap (the ambidextrous one with a rubber shoulder pad). Whatever strap you use, be sure it attaches to the tripod foot of the lens, not the bottom of the camera's body. With that much weight to the lens, you run the risk of stressing the body's mount when a strap is attached to the body directly. No matter what you get, most likely you will still want some type of strap. [/QUOTE]
