I have a 500mm Nikor lens and when I go into the field I have it on a tripod and carry it on my shoulder. However, if it's a long hike say over a couple of miles the lens gets very heavy.
I was thinking of carrying the lens in a backpack. The only problem with this is I could miss some great shots because the lens is in the pack and not ready to use.
So how do most of you carry your big glass in the field? thanks Bill
