If you use the neck strap around the camera body, it puts too much strain on the mount...plenty of pics on the web of sheared EF mounts on the lens...one reason why they added more screws to the new extenders.

Anyone here use Blackrapid Straps? The biggest load I've put on it is just my 7D with 70-200mm f/4L so it's not even comparable to the weight you guys are talking about, but I'd bet it would support the weight.There's no neck strain what so ever since it goes across the shoulder. Works wonders for me.
