Sometimes we tend to underestimate the significance that diverse after-market accessories have for the effective and efficient use of long lenses, such as 500mm f4.
We are fortunate to have several smaller companies which cater to such needs with some clever and good quality products.
Here is my choice of the best low & medium cost accessories for long telephoto lenses. It would be great if you could add some others to my list, which you have had good experience with.
(1) Don Zeck\'s protection cap for lens front objective.
(2) Canon wide lens strap (Introduced recently with MkII supertelephoto lenses, but it can be bought separately as well)
(3) Tenba or Kinesis long lens shoulder (top loading) cases
(4) Lenscoat \"Hoodie\"
(5) Manfrotto 681 monopod (Singled out here because of its great performance/$ ratio)
(6) QR compatible replacement feet (several manufacturers)
