michali Posted January 29, 2022 Share #21 Posted January 29, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) If I'm carrying one body & 2 lenses -VE24-90mm & VE90-280mm- I use the ONA Brixton which comfortably takes the SL2 or SL2-S with grip attached & both lenses with space to spare.

Advertisement Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Hi michali, Take a look here What is your camera bag for the sl ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
2M6TTLs Posted January 30, 2022 Share #22 Posted January 30, 2022 I found the comfortable way to carry this system is with a small backpack. With a shoulder bag all the weight is on one shoulder. Not good. Lowe Pro has several options which allow you to put your camera lens etc in the bottom and easily access camera with zoom attached in seconds, and space for a jacket, sweater, snacks etc. in the top section. Mine is a Lowepro Fastpack BP250.Not too heavy unloaded either. Love it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use an insert here? I thought that a Billingham insert might work well? No insert here, no. Just throw the SL2s in a beanie with a lens mounted on each, and then the other SL lens just hangs out in its pouch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickness Posted January 31, 2022 Share #24 Posted January 31, 2022 On 1/20/2022 at 5:58 PM, drkgrrts said: I use the Billingham 35 rucksack, with a two-lens combination like you suggest (either SVE-SL 16-35 + Summilux-SL, or SVE-SL 16-35 plus Vario 24-90). Given the weight of the lenses, I find a rucksack to be a more comfortable solution than a shoulderbag. I ordered a Billingham 35 after reading some good reviews, got it today and I have to say, its small and not particularly comfortable to wear. I can't see how you'd ever fit an SL with a lens attached and anything else in that tiny pouch - am I missing something????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can fit SL2 with SL 24-90, 90-280 and either a prime or some accessories. It’s quite comfortable, for me. The Hadley One can serve a similar purpose when a shoulder bag is preferred.

Jeff Thx- Yeah I didn’t go for the 25 because I really just wanted a bag to carry extra M & SL lenses and batteries as the camera would be in my hand while street shooting. The 35 just feels really stiff and not particularly comfortable, wondering if these bags break in over time?

Jeff S Posted February 1, 2022 Share #27 Posted February 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I wouldn’t buy a bag that wasn’t practical and comfortable from the start, which is why I either test in store with my gear, or buy with a return policy.

I can't see how you'd ever fit an SL with a lens attached and anything else in that tiny pouch - am I missing something????? Here's a configuration in which the Billingham 35 insert can hold an SL plus 4 lenses. (The fourth one could be a smaller manual prime kept in the pouch below the Summilux.) It's compact, but it's doable. Admittedly, the Billingham 35 is a bag that intends to be stylish (whether it succeeds is a matter of taste), and as such, it probably suits city usage better than trekking or professional assignments.

Have you found that the bag breaks in at all? Mine just feels very stiff and not particularly comfortable to wear. I'm fairly broad shouldered so that might be a factor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj55 Posted February 6, 2022 Share #33 Posted February 6, 2022 Btw, the total weight with the SL2-S, 24, 35, 65 and spare battery comes in at 2.9 kg. More than manageable! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBJ2 Posted February 9, 2022 Share #34 Posted February 9, 2022 On 1/25/2022 at 2:09 PM, XRayGuy said: I use the Oberwerth SL Medium with the optional handgrip (it gets a bit much for the shoulder after a while). That bag is basically designed for the SL2/S with a 24-90 and one Summicron SL lens and it is beautiful. I would agree with drkgrrts above though that in general the SLsystem does seem to be more comfortably transported in a backpack. https://int.oberwerth.com/products/the-sl-medium I use this Oberwerth shoulder pad when I need to load up the bag and/or long carry hours. Makes a big difference IMO. https://us.oberwerth.com/products/extra-schulterpolster?shpxid=bfafde5d-ce9f-4252-a93c-ba97caef342b Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb Posted February 11, 2022 Share #35 Posted February 11, 2022 I use a domke j-2 but will be looking for a replacement. will likely go with a billingham large messenger style bag like a Hadley pro (large) Robb Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
