The old budget thing comes into this but I have the Canon 70-300 DO IS which I love but some don't like. It is fairly heavy but I put it in a small Tamrac holster case which I obviously wear on the hip with a second strap going over one shoulder. Being a short (when closed) lens it fits snugly in this with the lens hood, which is essential, fitting in reverse whilst it is in the case. The weight being on the hip makes it easy to carry and I sometimes have other lenses in their cases attached on the other side of the belt. Well made lens which does work with my Kenko 1.4 converter on my 20D in good light at least. Fast focus and 3 stops IS. Had to save for it though, better try the Optech strap first!
