Seeking Opinions on X-T5 Comfort/Ergonomics with Big Lenses

I recently picked up an X-H2s, mainly to use for wildlife and sports photography. While it has taken some time for me to adjust to the controls and LCD, I am very pleased with the camera. One great thing is that I don't find any of my lenses to be too big for the body, although I did add a Smallrig L-bracket to it.

I would like to add a 40MP body, either an X-H2 or X-T5, but I'm concerned that the smaller body of the X-T5 would not match well with some of my lenses. I was able to comfortably use all my lenses with an X-T3 that had a battery grip attached, but since the X-T5 does not have that option, I am concerned that it won't be comfortable, for me, with the following lenses:

  • XF 50mm (F1)
  • XF 16-55mm
  • XF 50-140mm
  • XF 100-400mm

If you have an X-T5 and have mounted any of the lenses listed, or something of similar size/weight, I would like your feedback on the comfort/ergonomics of the combination.

Thanks in advance!
