That`s a Tale of WOE if I ever heard one, I will try not to follow your example,.. I am trying to find a way to carry/wear this lens, I have the lowePro photo vest which has " D " rings to harness the rig, which makes my appearance rather obvious ,so need to find another way so as to look inconspicous ,..but my Nat.Geo. canvass bag is too small, so I am still investigating alternative methods.
Camera bags are a nightmare. I think I have had more camera bags than cameras!
I prefer to work with minimal equipment.
So one camera and one lens is my starting point.
That said I always want quick access to the camera. So a toploader holster type is my preferred style for walking around….irrespective of the lens length…….
Nikon 500mm+D850 in Thinktank holster …..out birding
For more general photography I still favour a holster but a more modest size….
This Lowepro takes the Sony with 100-400 zoom….or shorter lens with option to even put a 2nd compact lens underneath at the bottom.
Alternatively, if the full holster is occupied, I can also add an external pouch for the second lens. The pouch is quickly strapped/ velcroed to the side of the holster.
There are ample pockets for card, batteries, filters, but I find if I have too much clutter, excess weight and equipment choice it distracts me.
And NO….the camera / lens that got thrown out of my bag WASNT a holster. It was me using a standard shoulder bag open with the combo ‘wedged’ inside. In fact the incident was instrumental in me adopting holsters of good depth.
