Lowepro Dashpoint 30: Well fitting pouch for Panasonic GX80 / GX85

[El Jeffe]

Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 5 fits a GX85 and 15mm f/1.7 very well without the hood.

I like the look of that, but I managed to pick up a mint Dashpoint 30 on eBay for £9 and it's great. A bit larger than I'd have liked but I love the fact that I can attach it to the shoulder strap of my daypack or rucksack. That's the game changer for me, having it locked on tight and accessible means it wont have to be stuffed in my bag when I'm hiking like my DSLR was. At the end of the day, a camera isn't much use if it's not there when you need it! Now I need to think about maybe looking at a wrist strap instead of a neck strap.

That's how I use it also. Currently with the PL15 + lens hood on the GX80.

The Dashpoint 20 turns out to be a super-snug fit for the GX80 with the 20mm 1.7 but a really good fit for the 12-35. It just fits with the 20mm but fits better if you slip it in the the viewfinder first, where as the 12-35 fits in great either way. I think I'll keep the Dashpoint 30 to see if it will fit with the 35-100 I've just bought.

Um.. isn't the 12-35 (12-32?) larger than the 20 1.7? Certainly deeper but maybe smaller diameter.

Sorry for the typo - 12-32 kit lens.

Looking to but either the DP 20 or 30 for my GX80, and was just checking if the 20 definitely does fit GX80 with 12-32 kit lens? Did you have the neck strap fit in the bag too?

I have both, but 20 is too small for it

Ok thanks, will go for the 30 then

I don't use the neck strap - not really any point when using the Dashpoint - I pull it out when I want to shoot then stow it when I'm not shooting. I'd rather have the camera tucked in away from dust and prying eyes. I use a home made wrist strap.
