With 45mm 2.8
And possibly 150 2.8 (still considering if I need two lenses that size)

I've taped up the carabiners so they don't rattle loose or scratch the bodies.
Spent another day running around in it today. Still happy with it

After trying some cheap belt clips, which were pretty good, but not quite right, I've been looking for something more robust and even easier to use in the heat of a frenetic wedding shoot.
I looked at all the expensive options and read all the threads, but then this strap popped up on Amazon and for 10 quid, it was a no-brainer. I figured if it turned out to be a bit dicey for my big ol' 645's I could just add better clips or whatever.
Turns out it is flippin' brilliant!
Well-made, smart, not too ridiculous to walk around in and perfectly strong enough for a whopping great camera.
I had a K5 and a 645 hanging off me for 12 hours with no problems. I did tether the Z with a shoe lace to a higher point on the harness, but it wasn't necessary.
The screw-in tripod mount has a nice long screw and really easy thumb-wheel, and can take a tripod plate underneath.
It's really comfortable and ridiculously easy to use - getting either camera up to my eye and back hanging at my hip in no time at all, with no tangles or pfaff whatsoever. Easy to walk around in, no banging, and running is simple enough as you just hold the cameras as you would any baggage.
Only hassle is getting it off, as you end up with two cameras swinging around from a harness that you want to put down. Bit awkward, but I think it's just practice. Basically, just sit down and take the weight off them before taking off harness.
My partner - constantly tangled in conventional straps, was totally sold.
oh, incidentally, I also had a camera bum pack round my waste for bits and bobs, or to hold lenses as I change them.

It's important to use AE lock to hold the exposure on the lightest part of the sky before framing up with what will likely be a dark part of the scene in the centre of your frame. Otherwise this predominantly dark frame will lift your exposure and wash-out your sunset.
The K3 is a very fine resolution device which will show-up careless handling.
I wouldn't turn off SR unless I was videoing or on a tripod and even then I tend to forget. I have found it to be very effective at keeping hand-held images sharp. Is there something I should know here?
