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.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
