[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 548735, member: 9240"] Popping my head up after 9 days gone. Took the 150-600mm and D750 on a 5 mile wilderness trail hike while away. No tripod, no monopod, nothing but that combination. My muscles are sore, but it's a carry-able lens. Wish to God I'd had a DX body (D500 is due in 8 days - YAY!!). Two things to note: 1. This lens works optimally with a gripped camera (damn, gonna have to soak another $400 in the D500 or wait for the 3d party stuff). as it 2. I need to rig some sort of strap system for this thing. I tried using the strap lugs in combination with [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Buckle-Secure-Connect-System/dp/B00KKXIN1U"]these things[/URL] as they allow me to use my current strap scheme, but the don't extend around the camera body far enough, and even if they did they don't pass around the body in any convenient form. I'm guessing I'm going to have to grab something for the tripod foot. [/QUOTE]
