Hi all,
So having taken delivery of my very first super telephoto, the Tamron 150-600mm G2 to go with my D7500,
Immediately I’m hit with the sheer weight of the lens compared to my 300mm,
I have been playing around with it for a day or so and you may laugh but it’s really hurting my arm trying to handhold it for aircraft shots etc..
These are the scenarios where I don’t need a tripod if I can really help it,
The standard strap for the camera I don’t trust with all the weight and I’d prefer to hold onto the lens to avoid stress on the camera,
I was looking at shoulder straps on amazon and found this
WITHLIN Lengthened Professional Photography Set - Extended Shoulder Strap with Safety Tether for Camera SLR DSLR (Canon Nikon Sony Olympus Pentax,etc) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NBTXGCH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_VMPHAbBVJ539R
Just wondering if it’ll be any good and help take the weight by attaching to the lens foot ?
Anyone here use one of these and have any photos,
Thank you for reading
