Samples of Camera Equipment — Weight List
Here is the basic concept. If the camera/lens package that your -normally- carry is less than 2.25 pounds then the RF is your only choice. Over 2.25 lbs use the SLR. If you need or use a quick release then the QR is a better choice. However, if you do not need a quick release or do not see you making a forward move in your photography, a plain strap is the better choice. The QR comes with Kevlar ends by default.
Below we have an outdated list of camera and lens weights. If your camera or equipment is not listed below either put it on a scale (Post Office?), check the manual or do a quick internet search. DPreview.com has perhaps every digital camera and lens weights I know. If you still ~AFTER< b>
Again. . .
RF - for cameras or equipment under 2.25 pounds
SLR or QR for cameras or equipment over 2.25 pounds
LT - for bags that hold 2.5 - 20 pounds (it will hold 600 pounds)
If any of you out there are equipment buffs and want to help us update this list we would welcome the help.
