My solution was a home-made custom-fitted sleeve of padded cloth with a cut-out 
for the shoulder stock; a fastex buckle at the open end of the cut-out holds 
the sleeve on the lens.  Any time I need the lens I unclip the buckle, let the 
sleeve drop off, and it's ready to go!  A camera can stay on the lens when it's 
sleeved: the camera also has a padded cover, this one secured with a couple 
strips of Velcro.  A tug on the bottom flap and the camera's cover is off.  It 
keeps the camera and lens protected from mist, light rain, moderate dust, and 
the bumps and scrapes normally encountered when hiking, bushwhacking and rock 
clambering, keeping it accessible within a second or two.
