prime lense: 50mm F/1.8 (cheap but good ar!), for indoor
telephoto lense: 75-300mm USMIII (only $150 from craigslist....LOL) for dog or air plane <--- I so want to upgrade my telephoto lense into a 小小白 ar!!! but no money.....too expensive....

and recently my co-worker lended me his Tamron 18-200mm

Then it doesn't matter if it is the normal next strap or this R strap.

And this is why I prefer just hand strap, and if needed, can attach the neck strap to hand strap anyway ..

In my case, I didn't have flash on the camera..!  I was just using it with my 70-200 f/2.8 & 300 f/4 with and without 1.4x 2x TC on my 1dsm3, and 5dm2. wildlife shooting..!  What happen is the RS-5 allows the camera to go up and down without moving the strap itself, but my 2nd camera with the regular strap would sit on top.  Now both cameras can be move around without the straps tangle together..!

If I would to just carry one camera, and not worry about changing lens and tripod, then I think the RS-5 is good.  Otherwise, I like using the regular strap, where it can easily keep the camera in front of me for lens changing..!  But it's worth trying for yourself and see if it works for you.

I came up with the idea, when I had trouble shooting with regular strap with 2 cameras when I was shooting the parade couple months ago...!

I meant, of course the strap won't affect the camera flash to malfunction, but would it be too bulky to carry two big cameras with long and short lens and flash under your armpits??

Nobody has mentioned, is it practical to have camera flash on too?
