[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 482108, member: 15675"] I just went to exchange my 18-105 DX for a 70-300G, I'll probably loose in quality, but gain in reach. However it made me think of this thread. Current conclusions: 1) I like the cotton carrier, but the 500, even the 70-200 are too heavy on it IMHO during longer walks, hence I now have a 70-300 for position on the harness. For less movements around a shooting terrain the heavier lenses can still go on the cotton carrier. 2) I rarely put the macro ready for action the way stated above, it is or on the second body or in the bag. You need to remove the large lenses from the cotton carrier before you can move sufficiently anyway. 3) I move the 500 in a regular hicking backpack on the back, I find this more comfortable for carrying. In the holders for the ice pick I can put the tripod and I secured my Gimbal now for transport. My cheap second body became a D70s, I would have preferred a D3200, but that was still 3 time the price. I was saving afterwards and I now also carry my Sony A7s for twilight, video and more static set-ups + it is important in a lot of not wildlife shots. For terrain with good access (e.g. some parks have concrete cycling roads through them), I have a fishing trolley to take more material. [/QUOTE]
