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.

Thanks - I can't make the picture work but my question is answered

    • More testing of lenses today.  Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 IF ED VR (same applies to VR II) - dreadful. Heavy vignette at all focal lengths and apertures. Obvioulsy fine in 35mm mode.  Nikon 70-200 f/4 - some vignetting at full frame (similar to 24mm f/1.8 and Sigma 105 f/2.8 so probably correctable or slight crop to 80-90MP). Perfect in 35mm mode.  If weight is an issue for you the kit 35-70 Fuji GFX lens is lightweight and better than you might expect but isn't a fast lens at f/4.5-5.6

    • I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.
    • I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.
