Hi Guys,

Needing some advice if the PD Sling 6 V2 is enough for my needs since the store here where I am living require you to pay in full amount for the bag and they don't even have a demo/show model we can test if it fits our gear.

Currently I only carry the following during trips:

1. X-H2 with XF 16-55 F2.8

2. 33mm F1.4

3. Cables / Chargers / 2 Extra Batteries

I'm contemplating in buying the PD Sling 6 V2 since it is quite burdensome to bring the Everyday Backpack for some trips I do.

You advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I love Peak Design stuff but it is pricey.  I have the Slide Lite strap and its great.  The lock mechanism is pretty cool, making adjustments easy but secure when locked.  But can't comment on sizing for what you will carry.

Yeah PD is very good. Already have the Every Backpack V2, Camera Cube, and Wrist Straps. They are all awesome. Just took the plunge and bought the Sling 6L V2. Once it arrives I'll post pictures of my gear with it maybe some others are contemplating on buying this bag and would want to have a sizing guide.

I think it should work for what you listed depending on how large your charger is. I can fit my X-T5 with XF 70-300 F4-5.6 vertically and XF 30 F2.8 or XF 18-55mm F2.8-4. I can get all three lenses in without a charger if stack the smaller ones.  I had the 3L first when just had X100V and liked it so much I added the 6L.

Just got my 6L last week and it fits the following:
1. X-H2 with 16-55 2.8

2. XF 33mm 1.4

3. XF 56mm 1.2

4. Charging Cord

5. 2 Power Banks

6. iPad Pro 11" (Kind of hard to place in, I think a iPad Mini 8.3" would be a better fit)

Thanks for the update - would the iPad Pro 11" fit better with less camera equipment? Or is it just the size of the tablet?

I tried placing the iPad by itself with the bag empty and it fits easily. The picture below is how I placed the iPad 11" without a case or magic keyboard. So yeah I think it'll fit better with less equipment. Sadly I can't simulate a smaller camera such as an x100v which I think would be perfectly sized for this.

      Issue with X-T5 White Balance

      By Blue Zurich · Posted

      It is/was not what I was used to (5D3, R6) in terms of color and WB. Using Kelvin manually is just like another top dial. Something to do to get it right in camera.

      Cheap lens to start

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think there are Fuji "FX" lenses or mounts, it's "XF". If I had your camera I would buy any XF or XC lens and expect it to work. I do have an X-T30 ii, pretty similar. I have lots of XF lenses. XC lenses are made by Fuji and are cheaper, if it's cheap you want.  I wanted a lens with very few elements or element groups, and bought a Pergear lens for about $59 new. It only has 4 elements in 3 groups, IIRC. I also plan to use it if I ever think I might ruin the lens, like shooting something dangerous.

      Bad copy of 33mm?

      By Timpa · Posted

      Please help me before I send it back. Do I have a bad copy of Fujinon 33mm f1.4? I find it really soft off center (not even corner). See print screens. I focused on the same spot, just moved focus point. I get same result over and over again. (EDIT: After more testing I find that I can get sharper results off center but it's very inconsistent and not at all reliable. Focusing issues? It's not the camera, Ive have tried it on 3 different cameras)

      X-S20 can't be turned on while indicator lamp is blinking

      By fujifilm kaze · Posted

      Hi everyone. I'm new here. I recently bought an X-S20. It's really a decent camera but i encounteted something odd. I linked my X-S20 with my phone via wifi using XApp. I enabled Auto Image Transfer Order so that images in X-S20 will be sent automatically to my phone whenever Xapp is activated. When the camera is switched off while there are images queuing to be sent, the indicator lamp on the camera blinks green and orange. I know it is normal since it is only completely turned off until all images are sent to the phone. But sometimes the image transfer is discontinued due to connection problem or else. The problem is, after being disconnected, the camera seems not to identify the disconnection and keeps on blinking green and orange. If i switch the camera power button to ON, the camera will not show any response (but continues blinking). The only way to fix this problem is to take the battery out and put it bavk again. Did anyone also encounter this problem? I would like to know how to fix it.
