[QUOTE="hark, post: 696938, member: 13196"] This is [B]really[/B] important. When a lens is so much heavier than than a camera body, you can damage the body's lens mount if you use a strap that attaches to the body's lugs. The weight of the lens will pull on the mount and can eventually damage the contacts. When the strap is attached to the tripod socket, the excess weight no longer is pulling on the body's lens mount. I use the BlackRapid Cross Shot Breathe since I prefer to wear my strap over my right shoulder (and handle the camera with my left hand). It's an ambidextrous strap. Many of the tripod straps are designed to be worn on the left shoulder so the camera hangs on a person's right side. There are several different brands available. :) [/QUOTE]
