Loving this lens so far! Except that I carry it on a black rapid strap when hiking, which in the standard orientation (camera upside down, lens facing behind me) leaves the switches on the side of the lens bumping against my body. Because the switches are so easy to move, I've missed several shots because the AF had gotten turned off or focus had gotten limited.
My current work around is to carry the camera in a different orientation which isn't ideal, or to put a small piece of gaffers tape over the switches. Both of these solutions are less than elegant, but I suppose that's what I'm stuck with.
Having the camera in a different orientation either makes it harder to bring up to my eye for quick photos, or makes it ride awkwardly while I walk. The tape obviously has to be removed to make changes.. again not ideal but better than the first option.
Anyone else experienced this issue? Have any other workarounds? Is there a better way to carry a lens like this while hiking?
