Any one got am off the shelf solution? When walking and shooting, mostly birding, to keep most of the load off the lens mount, I'm using the eyelet off a Black Rapid "shot" strap screwed into the lens foot and a rifle sling. I'd like to be able to use my monopod or my tripod too, and the Black Rapid eyelet is in the way. I do have a spare (long) AS lens plate I can trial fit to the lens to use both the shoulder strap and the lens in a AS clamp, this is going to require some messing around to get the lens down/body up carry position Are any of you guys using some purpose built adaptor that will sort this?
I was wondering if there was such a thing, cheers mate I'll go have a look for one. *The lens plate off my sigma 150 has got two 1/4 inch holes in the front end. If I mount the plate in reverse I can get a couple of 4mm carabiners and tie the rifle sling to the carabiners, and I'll get the lens down/body up carry I want. Thanks for the idea dude
