Peak Design sling 3l

Does anyone have one of these? No shops are open in much of UK so I can’t try one. I want it to fit an M6ii with 11-22 and a 32mm plus iphone, keys and a bit of cash. I have a Lowepro Slingshot 200 but this is much bigger and will take a lot more so is too big for walkaround use.

I have the Peak Desing sling 5l (this size isn't available anymore), and I am very content with it. I put in my M6 with three of my lenses (e. g. 15-45, 32, 55-200) and if I am packing "economically", also my 22 mm fits in.
The zipper is positioned quite good and it can be openend easily.

But I have no experience with other sizes.

You'll have no problem fitting that kit into the Everyday Sling 3L.

I often carry my M6ii with 22/2 mounted, plus two medium-sized EF lenses in the main compartment. I use the interior zippered pocket for extra batteries, strap, and EVF. The exterior pocket should be good for your phone, cards, and keys.

In the photo below, I have the M6ii with 22/2 mounted, 50/1.2 with EF-EOS M adapter below the divider, and 135/2 above it. The main zippers close comfortably with no pressure — the contents fit without having to force anything.

Sounds like this is a perfect size! Thanks for info.

It has arrived. It is a lovely bag. Compact, yet spacious enough for the use I will give it. Well thought out design and superb quality.

Are you able to fit the M6ii with the EVF attached in there? I have a similar bag that I absolutely love, but it can only fit the camera without the EVF...

Thanks!

Yes, easily.  I am very impressed with this bag. There is room for another lens as well as phone, keys and some money. Pockets and zipped places to keep stuff from scratching your camera.

You wouldn't be able to upload a pic would you?

Sorry for delay…. Just noticed this.

Plenty of room for evf mounted on camera.

Wallet or filter pouch fits in with zip done up

Camera with evf, ef-s55-250 with adapter attached and spare battery

Hope this helps!

Re: Peak Design sling 3l....Update

Thanks, I’m hoping to fit the M6 II with an EFS 18-135 attached with view finder. Might have to go to the shop and see if I can jam it in!

I always pack my cameras laterally (not top-loading) and my M6 II fits just fine in the EDS3L with the EF-S 18-135mm IS USM. The M6 is my newest EOS-M body so I'm not yet comfortable with storing it in any bag with the EVF attached.

I would post an image but no form of image inserting works for me on this forum.
