Bag for 2 X-Cameras with XF 100-400mm & 16-55mm attached
2

We all know, that the perfect, one and only all purpose camera bag does not exist, but there are bags, that are coming close. For trekking and the mountains I prefer backpacks (the Lowepro Protactic 350 AW is my personal choice). But for day long strolling through cities during travel I prefer sling bags over messenger bags, because personally I find them more comfortable to carry.

So I was looking for a sling bag for

- Fuji X-T2 with Booster Grip & XF 100-400mm (lenshood reversed) or XF 55-200 mm attached

- Fuji X-Pro2 & XF f 2.8 16-55m attached

- Fuji XF 10-24mm and

- Fuji XF f 1.4 23mm

and found the *Mountainsmith Descent Camera Sling Bag*, I am really happy with.

Here the X-T2 with XF 100-400mm attached and the X-Pro2 with XF 16-55mm attached, both face down and easy to grip:

X-T2 with XF 100-400mm, lenshood reversed:

In the middle the XF 10-24mm and the XF 1.4 23mm, separated with a divider from another bag. The flap has two zippered compartments, one green, one red, for separating unused and used batteries or cards. Clever!

There is a flat front pocket, that can fit an iPad Mini (no iPad Air!), filters, batteries and other small items (like the TCL 1.4).

The backside and the strap are very well padded and very comfortable. It has a removable rain cover, too.
