Thank you for the review. Is that the mirrorless insert? I shoot a d750, 16-35, 24-70, 85, 50 and 70-200. I like the size of the x30, and think the x50 would be too big. Have you traveled with this bag?

Hi. Yes this is the mirrorless insert.

I have used the X30 on a day trip so far. Other than that I have commuted with it for work. I absolutely love it.

I plan on getting a tele zoom (70-200 or 100-400), and a macro, and see no issues using that with this bag. As it also allows a small insert on top of the mirrorless insert it will be no problems bringing the gear, but of course it reduces the volume for other items. It will for sure be great for a day trip, but maybe not so much for an overnighter if you use a small insert in there as well.

It is a very thoughtful made backpack.
