    • I use the Thinktank Retrospective bags with a similar lens complement and it too is mostly unpadded (padding in the dividers). I find it works well, and is of a similar design to the Domke.
    • Perhaps look for a secondhand XF 23mm F2 and a secondhand XF 56mm f1.2, use those for six months or so and see where you feel you are missing something. The 23mm (35mm equivalent) is a popular general purpose lens and can be used successfully for most general photography. The 56mm (85mm equivalent) is a popular short telephoto and portrait lens, giving shallow depth of field when used at wider apertures.
    • A few quick thoughts: Overall, zooms tend to be heavier and bulkier and slower and costlier with poorer image quality than primes. You compromise on pretty much everything, just to get that adjustable focal length. But an adjustable focal length is a pretty huge and amazing feature for a lens. You might put some thought into your own thoughts on zoom versus prime. Many of us wind up with a few of each. I also agree the 18-135 is very good, does almost everything you need a lens to do. If I can only bring one, this is the one. I also agree the 80 Macro is good. The images are excellent for close up or distant shooting, and it offers about as much magnification as you can use handheld. If I can only bring two, this is the second one. There's a 30 Macro instead, which is a great deal smaller and lighter and easier to handle, if you prefer. You can crop an image after shooting to approximate a longer narrower lens. But there's no way in the world to approximate a shorter wider lens. What didn't fit in the image will never get there after shooting. So, I think it is good to have a very wide lens in your kit. I have the 8 mm, which is VERY very wide. Kinda expensive though. But, still, picking something pretty dang wide as your widest lens is a good strategy. You can leave a big gap between your widest and second widest, and crop as needed, but you will be able to capture the subject.
    • I have an X-T5 with three lenses: XF18 1.4, XF33 1.4 and a 55-200.  I was using a Bellingham Hadley Small bag when I only had the 33 and 55-200 lenses, but having just bought the 18, that bag is too small without having the 33 lens laying down instead of standing upright.  I had a Domke F6 from before and tried that one.  The way it’s configured, I can put two of the lenses  in their 4 pocket holder, filling the other two with flash and accessories, and the camera with a lens in their unpadded section of the bag.  I’ve tried buying a padded insert , but the camera and lens wouldn’t fit in it, so if I’m using the bag, it’s in the unpadded section.  Does anyone have an F6 Domke bag and keeps their camera in that unpadded  part with the lens on? Thanks
    • When did the problem start, and how did you transfer the file—direct connection, cloud, or another method?
