My Bigma lens turned up today and it's just made my new camera bag redundant
What I'd like to know firstly is how do you carry these? do you use the provided neck strap? do you flip the tripod bracket upside down and carry it in hand?
I now need a new camera bag, I'd prefer one that will permit the lens to stay on the camera to help keep inside of the camera clean, is it advisable to keep the lens fitted to the camera?
Also in said camera bag would need to be the spare batteries, lens cleaner, caps etc, a monopod/tripod needs to hang somewhere, my spare 135mm lens and my sarnies along with a drink.
Ideally I'd like a little seat as well, don't like damp floors

. Years ago I bought a cheap rucksack that came with a little seat built in, wasn't a camera bag but was comfy after a long walk
Any recommendations/advice welcomed
Cheers all
Brian
