what case for a T6s...

i'm looking for a bag, not a backpack, that will hold a T6s wearing the 55-250 STM lens plus a small 50mm and a panasonic ZS50 travel zoom.  i'll probably want to wear it cross body, but as long as the strap is removable, i can always buy one the right length.  it needs to be lightweight for its size, and i can't use a backpack due to shoulder issues.

because i prefer to carry my camera (i'm currently using an SL1 but may be getting a T6s in the near future) with the 55-250 on it, it limits me some.  budget under $80.

any suggestions welcome, thanks!

thanks, but that's a lens / accessories bag.

I just received the 55-250 STM for my SL2. It fits nicely lens down into a Lowepro Nova 140 AW II bag. $50 There is room on each side  for a 50 and your small ZS50. Since the T6s will be larger than the SL2, you may want to look at the Lowepro Nova 160 AW II for $60. You can definitely wear it across your body. It is a well-made comfortable bag.

I have used a Lowepro sling bag for a number of years. The one in the link below is the one I have used, but mostly to carry larger dslrs 6d or 5d mk iv with a 16-35 F4 lens and sometimes with an RX10 or a 24-105 lens. Obviously, it will hold smaller cameras too. More recently Lowepro has come out with a smaller sling bag which will probably be better and more compact for the T6s. They are relatively light bags and convenient to travel with:

More recently I have found larger Hedgren Vogue backpacks (more like purses) a better choice.  They are available via ebags, but they are backpacks, so may not work for you.

I am older and have back and shoulder issues, so I do pay attention to these things. The Lowepro slim bags are a great way to carry cameras.

i like the idea of the slim bags, but seems like the middle would look like it was 9 months pregnant when carrying anything bigger than an a6000, no?

Re: what case for a T6s...

I suppose it could. I haven't really thought about it that way, as I have mostly been into how best to carry the camera without wrecking my body. Also, I have to say that I have no idea what a A6000 looks like.
