[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 636164, member: 43924"] Hi dccradio, welcome to the forum. I generally agree with what has already been said by others. Lots of options here. Since your camera and lens are fairly lightweight, one option to consider may be a chest harness, something like [URL="https://www.amazon.com/Movo-MB700-Universal-Carrying-Holster/dp/B00RF0OF2C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503784835&sr=8-3&keywords=dslr+chest+harness"]this[/URL]. The advantage is that if you fall, it keeps your hands and shoulders free to catch the fall. As far as bags go, there are too many to recommend any specific one, but as a general category, a sling bag may be a good option ([URL="https://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-SLRC-205-Camera-Sling/dp/B002ISXBFI/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1503785137&sr=1-12&keywords=sling+bag+camera+case"]here[/URL] is but one example). These things can stay on your back for walking but are easy to pull to the front of your body, so you can take out the camera (and maybe hook it up to the chest harness) without having to put the bag down. Personally, I don't use UV filters any longer since they are nowhere near as sturdy as the glass they are supposed to protect. I had one that broke, but the lens did not suffer at all though the filter was destroyed. Happy shooting! [/QUOTE]
