Can camera straps that attach by screwing into the lens' foot be really trusted to reliably hold a heavy lens like a Nikon 200-500 or 180-600?
I have a Black Rapid "Curve" strap that I got about 3 years ago and have never used because the attaching screw seems pretty short. I am afraid that with regular use, over time (and maybe a SHORT amount of time) that screw will become more and more "unscrewed" and drop my camera.
Have any of you here had problems or concerns using straps that attach to the lens foot, especially heavy lenses? What things do you watch out for?
Thanks for your insights.
