[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 627612, member: 14174"] Just waiting for my Sigma 100-400 lens to go on the D500 but they dont make a tripod collar for it,not a problem as far as tripods are concerned as i never use them,my concern is with the camera lens mount and tripod bush. The 100-400 weighs 1160g the Nikon 24-70 f2.8e is 1070g and doesnt have a tripod mount so not a lot of difference but the 100-400 is longer so perhaps more stress,i can hold it so most of the time there is no stress on the camera lens mount but carrying it is a different story. Two choices for carrying i can use my black rapid sport fixed to the camera tripod bush and again most of the time it would be cupped in my hand on the lens as it hangs at my side,it would though sometimes be hanging lens down for a short period. Do you think the tripod bush would take this strain. The second choice is the standard camera strap which would relieve the stress on the tripod bush but not on the camera lens mount,this strap would not be my first choice as i hate carrying cameras in front of me, if i used it across my body like the black rapid it is not easy to get it to your eye quickly in the winter when you have bulky clothes on. As you can see from the image the tripod bush and lens mount are only fixed to plasicparts and not part of the Chassis,not even sure the strap luggsare better fixed.
