How are you going to make a 600 mm lens face your Body? 🤩

I‘m carrying it on a strap over my shoulder, let the lens hang down across the front of my body w/o sticking out.😎

The metal issue with the PD brand is on the wrist straps, not the anchors. Their wrist straps have a metal band that not only can scratch the camera but also tightens up on your hand in use and requires setting down the camera and using both hands to loosen.

Thanks, I stand corrected. I use the neck straps on the SL2-S and not terribly concerned if the body gets scratched, whereas with my M camera I'm less tolerant.

Granted, a massive lens is a bit harder -- but most people won't be carrying it far anyway and will be setting it up once on site together with a  tripod. For slightly smaller lenses, just have the back of the camera facing out and tuck it into your body. It's those who carelessly swing cameras around that look dicey. Same applies to some online camera reviewers waving the camera in the air while talking. A bit like the glass expert on Antiques Road Show who excitedly waves his arms about near priceless treasures.
