Strap for Big Lens

[GorgeWalker]

Hi All,

So - now have my Sigma 150-600C. Great lens. But heavy.

How do you all carry these bad boys around, in terms of tethering/straps? I don't mind the strap that came with it, which attaches to the metal bracket that I assume mounts to a tripod but it's not padded at all and I wonder if there are better more ergonomic options.

Edit - Additional note. It feels "wrong" to now have a strap that attaches to the camera, with the big lens dangling off the camera and hence putting a heap of stress on the mount...feel like it's safer and kinder on my kit to tether to the actual lens... am I being overly cautious?

Cheers.
