Looking for a bag for a X-T4 kit with an array of lenses. Any input?

So I own lots of camera bags, backpacks, sling bags but right now for my X-T4 kit I am using an ThinkTank Photo Urban Approach 15. Here is a link to it. ThinkTank Urban Approach 15 .

I am looking for something to hold the same gear but is not as crowded as this.
Currently I keep in it a X-T4 with batter grip with the XF 16-55/2.8 attached, a XF 50-140, a XF 14/2.8, XF 23/1.4, XF 35/1.4, XF56/1.2, and a XF 10-24/4. Also squeeze in a XF 16-80/4 and a bag with charger and a few cables. Way too tight.

Now normally I either take just the 16-55/2.8 of 16-80/4 since I really don't need both if I take the primes. Also very ofter pick out the body and a few lenses and put in a smaller sling bag.

Problem is a lot of bigger backs assume they are for a Full Fram setup and lenses to there are few spacing that are too deep or the dividers are too wide apart to hold on to the lenses. I know have quite a few for my full frame kits.

So I don't know if there is a nice bag targeted at APS-C lenses other than this one.
Also like this bag since it allows me to keep the kit together in my house rather than store lenses on a shelf. Only do that when I take some out to make the bag manageable for travel.

Have given some thought to the ThinkTankPhoto Backstory 13 that they show a X-T4 kit in as one of their demo photos.

If you can recommend another backpack let me know. Have slings and shoulder bags galore so I don't need those.

Maybe the Peak Design every day backpack? It has different dividers.

I used since a decade Lowe pro slingshots.

they exist in S,M, and XL sizes.

love the fact that you can swing these bags from the back just in front of you without searching a place to put them and open them. The M size will perhaps be enough for (nearly) all of your lenses. I prefer the „s“ size, this is enough for XT4 incl. grip, several W265 batteries, flash, 10-24, 18-55, 2/23, 1,4/35, 2,4/60, and a lot of filters, and all the things you need besides the gear...

dont want to miss the slingshot.... the best bag  I purchased since 1977...

cheers

Doesn't look like it sets up to hold a bunch of small lenses with it open through from one side to the other. Nothing to hold on to the lenses that seems typical for XF lenses.
Hard to tell virtually.

If you're not looking to take all of your kit I love my North face explore BLT fanny pack. Not a camera bag but I can fit my XT4 and a few 1.4 primes in it. May not be what you're looking for but that's usually the "camera bag" I walk out the door with.

Sorry not looking for a fanny pack. I need something that can hold an X-T4, zooms like 10-24, 16-55, and 50-140 + a couple of primes. For me a sling bag would be the smallest I would want to go through. Now the fanny pack for when I have my X-E2 would work.

Will have to take a look to understand how their sling works. My ThinkTANK slings really don't hold lenses like  backpack since they are trying to be thin.

LowePro Protactic 350 II AW if you can find it in stock. Great bag...

Didn't realize the 350 II was only 20L. Looking into it more to see how it sets up. Thank you for the suggestion.

My lowepro Protactic 350II held XH1 with 16-55 attached ( top) and XT20 with 10-24 attached (side) plus 90/2, 55-230, 14/2.8 and 35/2. On top of the core stuff, it also fit 4 Breakthrough filters ( ND and CPL), 6 spare batteries 2 PD slide lites and a go pro with extra batteries.

The bag offers great look and great protection. The only drawback is it’s a little on the heavy side when loaded up. And if you don’t always lug around a lot of stuff, you can find something lower profile and lighter for daily use.

My LowePro Slingshot Edge 150 AW holds an X-T4 with 16-80 mounted, a 35 F2, Zeiss 12 F2.8, and the Fuji 50-140 F2.8. The two primes are in small LowePro 1 protective bags.

This setup is compact. I do have a Thinktank Retrospective 30 2.0 which holds a bit more, but access is harder than with the Slingshot.

The Edge 250 may hold what you have.
