For this week, I share 4 accessories, which I think are must-haves when you own a telephoto lens. I hope this video is helpful. Let me know if you own any of those items and what you think of them.

I use the peak design clips on my 150-400mm a must! I will be looking into the wood holder and the lens cap! Thanks so much for your continued great tips,tricks and knowledge. Can't wait for your announcement! 😊🎉
Thank you Deb! I am looking forward to the live ina. few days :) very excited to share the news with all of you.
I think you have to expend the description of the video to see them: For more info on the Lens rest contact: secretsignwriter@gmail.com Zemlin cap: www.zemlinphoto.com
OMG! After trying the Peak Design Anchors... there is NO going back! LOVE them! They are on all my cameras, heavy lenses and I carry spares for convincing others of their perfection.
I agree!
Since having changed to OM Systems gear I find the Cotton Carrier a fantastic way to carry both my OM-1 with the 150-400 and 40-150 at the same time.
Tip: during the OM-system try-out I found out that the lens cap of the 150-600 has the same filter thread. So you can buy an original lens cap that fits the 150-400.
Great tips. Thanks for sharing.
I got in touch with the chap who makes the wooden lens rests and he very kindly made one for my Fuji X mount Tamron 150-500mm lens. Not too expensive and a lot more comfortable than trying to hold the metal tripod foot itself. Lens caps and lens hoods are essentials, IMO, and I'd always use a good quality protection filter to prevent dust and scratches on the front element. I've used Peak Design anchors for years and attaching them to the lens itself removes the risk of damaging the lens mount on the camera body and/or the lens. Those wraps look interesting and I'll be investigating. One additional suggestion: I carry a few elasticated shower caps in my camera bag. If it starts raining, a shower cap provides great protection. They're dirt cheap, tiny and weigh next to nothing and they can be shaken dry once the rain stops and reused until use lose them / damage them.
Glad to hear! He makes a really good product.
Peak design straps and anchors great used for 2 years now
hi Emilie The most valuable tip is that if you use the 150-400, you connect the camera strap to the lens instead of the camera, to prevent damage to your camera body. I always use a lens hood on my lenses to prevent false light (flare). ) to avoid, but maybe I'm an exception who always does that. it also provides extra protection against dirt on your frond lens and also protects the frond lens against impact damage.
True. most of the time, I use my lens hood but having the extra cap helps my piece of mind and will also be helpful when I pack and need to put the lens cover in my suitcase to save space.
@@EmilieT I don't think the soft lens hat will take up that much space. but a hard lens cap is useful, they should have included it for free when purchasing this very dire lens. I use the lens foot as a carrying handle, and sometimes as a visor and of course as a tripod foot. This way I get maximum benefit from the lens base.
The wraps look super useful. Thanks for the tip.
They really are! Such a simple but great product.
Great recommendations! Thank you you!
You are welcome. Glad it is helpful
Nice video. I always have my lens hood on the lens. Keeps out stray light and helps to protect the front element.
I use the K&F magnetic filters and caps. I leave any OEM caps at home.
I switched from Peak Design to PGYTECH Camera Shoulder Strap. I prefer the slightly thinner strap with soft padding.
Thank you. I will check this product
My must have accessory’s for the 150 -400mm BWL are the following. 95mm UV filter, (cannot take a risk of it getting accidentally scratched), I sourced a lens cap on eBay around a month ago. I have also used some camouflage tape on the area which would normally attach to a tripod (which can easily be removed if necessary). My main protection though is the slip over fabric camouflage lens sleeve, put on in small sections. It is very tricky to put on but is especially good in stopping the lens hood getting scratched as well as the lens body. I like your other suggestions which could be useful.
Thank you for sharing Michael.
Protect the lens mount! Yes! Good advice ET. Wood palm rest looks way more comfortable than metal! More good advice ET. Zemlin caps are fantastic....but so is his smaller hood. If you order one go ahead and get both. Most OEM hoods are TOO big. Zemlin offers small hoods for you to consider.
Yes I was looking at his smaller lens. Do you have experience with them?
Not personally, but a good friend has his hood for the 150-400 and it is really nice. I will do my first business with him for the Sigma 500mm F5.6@@EmilieT
The Peak Design straps are great. I actually like to attach to the lens foot, with the included plate, on lenses I rarely use on a tripod. That prevents the strap from getting in the way when I bring the camera up to take a picture, which can happen if you attach the anchors to the loops on the side of the lens foot. Zemlin's caps are great too, for big primes.
I always use a tripod but with the peak design still able to attach it to The tripod head.
I didn't see the link for the lens cover or wooden hand held support on the collar. Please share. Thanks

Good stuff. Haven’t been able to get a response from the lens holder manufacturer.
Wonderful tips. What time will the live event be? Will time be posted somewhere?
5pm EST on Monday. Here is the link: kzhead.info4bO_-JeCESs?si=BI9OAJ1pv_l0B5DB
@@EmilieT - thank you
I have one out of four, that's not too bad, right? I see the 150-400 lens has 'handles' to attach straps or QR anchors. For my 300mm I needed another accessory: the PD anchor mount. Handy little thing.
It is :) Thanks for sharing about the PD anchor mount!
Great Video! Could you please tell me how long the 150-400 is on the OM1ii with the hood on? Total length of the camera, lens, and mounted hood. I'm thinking of getting this lens and wondering if it'll fit in my current Pelican case with the hood on it (not reversed). Thanks
Peak design anchors and wide strap. I was going to get the 100-400mm for wildlife but my brother in law wasn't impressed with the sharpness. So I got this 300mm. But the adjustment on the actually allows me to take photo 4ft away for macro capability to infinity. I'm trading in my m1 for the m2 in the morning but I wish I could keep both and leave one for macro. I also wish there would be a firmware update to keep the shutter down while changing lenses like my previous Sony a1 to help keep out dust and sand on a windy day. Do you think maybe you could suggest that to om system? I always use my 2x tc with my 300mm. Anyone have the 100-400mm and any thoughts on that. I'm also very excited to use the gnd on the m2 for low to the lower looking up macro shots. Coming from full frame Sony to these micro 4/3 cameras and buying these bazooka lenses for me defeats the purpose. I had the sigma 150-600 and they weigh the same. I find you can't keep up with bif with a tripod and lugging thar thing around is just too much. Especially when your doing it for hours on end. Imo.
Hi Emilie nice Lenscap ...... when are you flying to France can you take some with you 😂? The costs for transportation of a lenscap 20$ to Europe ... incredible for a nice piece of plastic ..what will it weight ? I am sticking to my trusted OLY cap that works fine . The lens protection towels .... nice too but during travel it's in the bag protected ., just like the iPad , but I will give it a thought . More stuff.... less room in the bag for lenses . The PD clips I use already for ages, never failed on me yet .
Ahah yes tell me about the prices of shipping anything to Europe...It is ridiculous. Soon it will cost you less to just pay someone to bring it to you by plane lol!
Thanks for sharing this. I use the Peak Design slide for my larger telephoto carries. BTW, Please increase the sound volume on your video. It's a bit hard to hear.
ok so I am not going deaf, my ear buds were 100% and I still had a hard time hearing.
A few people mentioned similar issues. I am not sure why from time to time, my audio is bad. On my end it works and I reviewed the video before and after uploading it. So sorry about this.
I use the PD anchors, with their wrist strap or neck strap. Love how easy they are. I was wondering about the 300mm f/4 lens (on OM-5 body). I don’t keep the foot attached because I don’t use a tripod, so removing saves weight. I attach my wrist or neck strap to the body only (one end on the side and one on the bottom of the camera, carrying lens facing down). Do you think the 300mm is giving too much stress if carried this way (and not attaching a strap end to the lens itself?
I don't own the 300mm. It might be ok as it is not heavy as the 150-400.
What time will the big announcement be? I'll be traveling in FL and hope the time is when I'm not out shooting.
5 PM EST
I imagine your friend won't ship to the US for cheap, would they?
Shipping is so expensive for individuals. It cost me so much to ship even just letters to France :( Contact him directly and see what is price is.
i can't find the link for the wood thing?
No link, but if you click on the video description, you will find the email of Edward who makes them. let me know if you can't find it and I will post it below.
No EE-1? what the!
I am not an EE-1 shooter :)
I do not understand why some clips are so quiet I can barely hear the soundtrack. As I cannot lipread I will have to pass this clip
I am not sure why either as I use the same mic and same settings and it is ok on my side. I will turn the volume up again.
