I bought mine well--used and used it much more along with a D3S (used) with a Nikon
70—300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR AF-P on one and a Nikon 28—85 on the other, but after quite a while my shoulders couldn't take the weight. Sold the whole kit and decided on Olympus cameras known for their significant dust protection, weather sealing and, most of all, their
lighter weight. Now my shoulders are happy.
