Sling bag for gripped R5?

Anyone found a sling bag that fits a gripped R5 well? I have a photocross 13 and with a 70-200 it’s just a hair too small. I’d love one that would fit an attached 70-200 and a 15-35. Any ideas?

The only thing I’ve come up with is this but it wouldn’t hold the 15-35 as well.

As I understand it, you want to carry BOTH the RF70-200 attached to the R5 with Grip and also carry the RF15-35? I know that TT 50 bag is more than big enough for either one (I have the smaller 20-model but I don't use a grip on the R5).

I think once you have a grip, you are out of the "sling bag" category and you are looking for a small, but somewhat thick, backpack or a shoulder/messenger bag if you want to carry a spare lens.

You would piggyback on a Lens Changer or Skin like they've shown. Also, I suspect the second lens could fit with the bottom expended, but it would be a pain in the behind to get to it though. Personally, I'd ditch the grip when looking for a minimalist sling setup, but that is just me.

Thanks,

that’s a good idea. I will still keep my current sling bag for going gripless but shooting certain events the grip is really nice and with moving around attaching/detaching would be a pita.

It seems like a much better plan. Use the sling when you want to go lighter. The Photocross 13 is an 11-liter bag that is approaching the size of a small backpack. You should be able to easily fit the whole f2.8 trilogy in that bag with the R5 without a grip and then some. I have a Tenba 7 liter sling and I can squeeze the whole trilogy in that bag, but only if the 70-200 is not attached to the camera (in that case, I can only carry one extra lens). I got the Tenba for times when I wanted to carry 2 big lenses or 3 smaller lenses and not bring the whole backpack.
