Re: Very preliminary thoughts on the 40-150 F2.8

I highly recommend that you use a sling strap (such as Black Rapid) attached to the tripod collar or tripod mount of the camera.  The lens is large enough to put undue stress on the strap lugs.

If you want to remove the tripod collar for shooting, you will notice the studs that make for an uncomfortable handling experience.  I use one of those thick rubber wrist bands to cover the studs; can add a personal touch if you go for the green or pink fluorescent color (I prefer black).

In the bag, I use an extra divider on the bottom of the partition to hold up the narrow part of the lens; keeps the lens more or less level.
