For stealth I stopped using my cameras on a strap, or carrying a backpack. For a while I used briefcase style bags and wrist straps. Now I use non-flap top slings like this Bellroy in 6L or 10L with a PD wrist strap. For EDC I take single lens 40mm 2.5 G on a Sony A7C or a Voigtlander 35mm f2 on a Leica CL (a great experience), with my GR3x in for real stealth. Thanks for bringing this bag to my attention.

Love this video, thanks for it. Can you speak to how your view has changed since a year ago? In your video on prime lens mistakes, you conclude that the simplest mistake you can make is taking all of your primes lenses with you and that “from now on” you would only take one prime lens with you. One year later, you’re describing here taking 3 prime lenses with you and no zooms.

I love how you said a crossbody bag is like a table. This verbalized why I don't like keeping my camera in my backpack. I always have to take it off/on every time I want to get my camera.

I’ve got the same bag, fantastic camera bag and holds my Nikon z6ii with a 24-70 2.8 plus filters… I love how it conforms to your body where as the peak design one is just so boxey and sways everywhere imo

My setup as a hobby photographer is: Xpro-2, X-M1, XF 35mm f1.4, XF 50mm f2, ttArtisan 27mm f2.8. It's all I need for a day and night walk. The X-M1 with 35mm is usually my night-time portrait combo, due to its built in flash, or for unobtrusive shots of people due to its very small size. All of these fit in a tiny sling bag (Nutsac Stachel 11), although I don't pad it, since I don't go easy on my gear.

Congratulations on your channel!
I upgraded to the x-t5 from the amazing x-t2 for main reasons: much improved autofocus for fast subjects and face recognition for my kids; and IBIS... everything else was a big bonus!
I prefer the 16 1.4, the 33 and the 90.
The 18 although better for cropping and faster autofocus, the 16 brings something different. The 18 is like phone pictures with better IQ.
You should check the wotancraft pilot 7L. I use it this primes, and with extra dividers I can fit another F2. And it can be expanded!

Thank you. I’m no longer shooting with Fuji but it’s a great reference . Take care.

I’ve been using bellroy’s sling bag for years as my daily carry camera bag, never has failed me no matter where I’m at 😎

The 90 f/2 is a gem of a lens. I regret selling mine sometimes. But the 33 f/1.4 it paid for gets more use these days.

[TheWordySeagull]

love this setup. I just bought the X-t5 which is an ugprade for me from X-s10 which was an upgrade from my X-t1. I have been in love with Fuji for the past 10 years. My first camera was a Nikon F3 with a 50mm lens which I totally loved until the day it was stolen from me. Great video, a simple and effective 3 x 1 setup!

90 mm is an incredible lens. It makes you take pictures you wouldn't take with other focal lengths. I prefer it much more than 56 mm.

💯 agree on the Bellroy bag - I must have tried every bag in existence but this one's by far the best I've used, the PD ones are far too rigid and actually not that much space in them. Costly but worth every penny 👌

[seanivrymusic]

tried the peak and bellroy slings and ended up getting the 10l bellroy camera bag. liked it so much I ended up getting a second one for my edc carry. I keep my xt30 and two lenses and accessories in one and all my edc bag in the other. I can easily make room if I want to carry my camera with my edc stuff for one bag, otherwise I can carry my Fuji kit when I'm out shooting. luckily got them on Black Friday sale for almost half off!

[alfabravo]

The Bellroy bag seems much better than the Peak Design equivalent that I currently have. Especially the ability to switch shoulders by adjusting the padded part of the sling.

[charliejg]

The 90 f2 is really a good lens. Right now, it's my longest reach Fuji lens. So, I use it for sports and getting up close to wildlife while hiking. I was lucky enough to get a barely used copy at a great price back in fall when all the new Fuji bodies and lenses were announced and people were selling "old stuff" to get new stuff! LOL! I'm still in that more affordable X-T3 and still really like it. Have a great weekend!

[Boxspooks]

I also was a Peak Design user, and switched to the Bellroy sling camera bag. It's a fantastic bag.

[fremandg]

Roman! A while since watching you and happened to hit on this bag change, looks good and soft flexible, I have Tenba and similar but totally understand and accept the softer flex feel, I actually have a Mantaray bag that is fantastic for photography, comfortable and sectioned, doesn’t look camera oriented and I have looked for years to find another.
Your photos are as always, incredible, I love the composition and lighting that you grab. You look a little harassed in this one and struggling on direction, are you overthinking, I remember the back button focus vlog and your workarounds, brilliant if a little rushed, you remind me of my son, don’t assume a persons level, great advice is a returned subscriber. Regards DG

I run the 18mm f1.4, the 35mm f1.4 and hesitated so long between the 56mm 1.2 WR, 90mm f2, but landed on the Viltrox 75mm since I have the 100-400 for wildlife. The 90mm looks sweet though!

[danielsalas]

Love this Belroy bag, you can carry a decent amount of weight in it and it’s super comfortable

[Oran_h]

I personally use the peak design 3, and 6 liter sling and I love them
Shooting with A7r iv and a6500 when I want a lighter setup
Can fit a lot of accessories if needed in both of them
