Small camera bag for KP + 2 lenses.

Ketsuppi11 · 06-19-2018, 12:09 AM

Hi, I have a Peak Design 10l sling and I really like it. It can fit my KP and 3-4 lenses. But often I would like to carry only my kp + 2 lenses in a bag that I could easily fit inside my backpack.
So I am asking recommendations for bags that can barely fit aps-c body with 16-85mm attached and 31mm ltd.

Thanks!

I have been looking at that bag and it looks like a good option. Do you think one can fit K5 with two medium sized lenses in it?

Cheers

I use a backpack that carries exactly two lenses and a camera, the think tank perception 15. It has room for a laptop and stuff at the bottom. Or you could look at camera inserts, in my experience bag-in-bag leads to stuff getting stuck on straps and in pockets.

I use a LowPro EX160. It holds my KP with Lens and has room for two additional lenses. It's my go to bag for compact travel.
Approximate dimensions are: L10" x W8" x H5".

Update

The approx. dimensions should be:
L 10"
H 8"
W 6"

I went with the Lowepro Passport Sling, it can handle that set up easily. I also carry my Sirui travel tripod in it. Were it not for the tripod, I would use my Domke F-5XC, the lower access zipper is really handy

My Tamrac Velocity 5x is a little bigger than you need (it currently houses the KP with DA55-300, DA10-17, DA15, DA21 and DA35), but you don't have to fill it

It works as either a small sling bag or a hip belt.

I've been pretty happy with my ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover 30i; Mirrorless Mover® 30i - Premium Photography Shoulder Bag ? Think Tank Photo

K-5 II with a mounted 18-135 and a DA 15 in the factory leather-ish pouch is easy. Or my Ricoh XR-7 with a mounted 28-70 Tokina and a Kiron 28 f2 or M 50 1.4 and a couple rolls of film.

I've got a Domke "gripper" strap on it that replaced the original although that's a long story and I wouldn't consider it a requirement.

Check out the Tenba BYOB inserts. They can be used like a bag on their own (albeit very square) but they excel as a bag insert.

Ketsuppi11 · 06-19-2018, 10:05 AM

Thank you for good suggestions.
I think I like the Domke F-5xb the best. Could anyone who owns one confirm that they can fit body + 2 medium sized lenses in it?
Weirdly enough no one seems to sell those in Sweden or Finland. So I would have to order from Germany without seeing it first.

Thanks!

This kind of design is best for your need I am thinking. I have one of these made by a different manufacturer. It compact holds my K-01 and Da*16-50 in the main compartment, a 50 or 100mm macro on one side and with extra batteries and accessories on the other side.

Have you looked at the Peak Design Sling 5L? nIt might work for you.

Otherwise, have a look at Think Tank's modular belt system. Something like the Speec Changer might be just the right size for what you asl (I can get a K-1 with DFA 100 macro WR snugly, so a smaller camera would be easier to fit, and clever divider placement will let you include small lenses. If it doesn't work, theit Skin Changer or Hubba Hubba hiney (yep, that's a thing) would certainly work.

Which lenses are you planning on carrying? I can take a photo of the F-5xb with a K-5II HD DA 70 and D FA 100 Macro WR if you like to give you an idea.

I am planning to carry KP + 16-85 and one of these: 31mm/100mm wr/ 55mm 1.4.

I also added peak design 5l sling on my list.

I use the F-5xb for my SuperProgram, and I really like it. It comes with two dividers which I use to put the camera, lens forward in the middle half and the each quarter of the space at either end contains either a zoom, or two primes sitting on top of each other (these are all A series lenses, so a little smaller than modern AF lenses.) Your camera with the 16-85 sitting lens forward might be a tight fit, but would probably work if you only dedicate space for one more lens instead of two.
