Hi Mark, thank you for all of the video work that you provide for YT viewers. I have the 3.5 L bag & I find like you, this bag is quite useful for carrying small prime lenses & a small camera body. I do not use the included insert divider with this bag. Similarly, as you demonstrate in the video, I find I can carry more compact lenses in this bag by using lens pouches as opposed to using the insert. I have a Wontancraft Ryker, Trooper, Pilot (10L) & the new 18L backpack. All of their products are well designed, using quality materials & offer good value for their price points. Best wishes.😊

Would be great to see how you organise your bag like a view from the top. For a 1 lens setup with an a7r5 + 1 prime or 20-70f4 do you think the 2P would be enough or the 3.5L would be a better fit. Also any idea if the R5 + tamron 28-200 would fit in the 3.5L. Thanks for your help.

Beautiful trip to India you are planning. I am eager to see what you share. :-)

Like you, I prefer shoulder bags to backpacks. And I currently use the 10L and 7L Wotancraft Pilot messenger bags. Since I'm always looking for ways to downsize my kit these days, I'll be very interested in hearing how you get along with your downsized kit on your trip to India. Hope it's a great trip.

Hi Mark, Hope you enjoy the trip. Just curious as to the choice of the A7C (other than weight saving) instead of the a7IV or A1? I myself have gone completely to the A7C and the Sigma compact lenses.

Hi Mark, I have the same setup 7L and 10L Pilot and ordered the 3, 5L. However I have a question, how do you fit all your other belongings in the 10L Pilot. Assuming you take a laptop, some backup SSD and clothing. If I go on a 3 week motorbike trip my shoes and a pair of jeans fill up half of the bag. How do you manage to pack for a month trip to India?

I bought the Wontancraft 10L based on your review and love it. The 3.5L looks perfect when I’m daily carrying the A1 or A74 with one lens. Do you have an affiliate link Mark?

[jonuiuc]

Is there any padding in that top lid? I'm thinking of putting one of the with camera and lens into another carryon bag, and was wondering if it would be padded on all sides.

I’m a Leica m11 shooter I love the macro/elmar 90 f/4 that’s a amazing lense

[rebelwithano]

Do you know if the strap gets longer on the 3.5l then the 2l? I have the 2 l and I manly use it as a camera insert in my backpack. It’s great for that but with my bigger frame the strap is too short.

[briangrubb]

Will the 3.5L hold 2 A7C's with 2 Compact lenes, instead of one body, and 4 zooms?

[rajaindian]

Hi Mark, is that one of the new APSC cameras Sony will announce later today that I see in your smaller bag?

[BizzleByron]

I’m gonna be all over one of these for a drone/phone setup. The peak design 3L sling is a little too snug for the DJI Mini 3 & controller/batteries.
Is the 3.5L more spacious than the peak design offering?

[frankfountain]

Mark, another fantastic review! Thank you. Two questions:

1. Can the Peak Design capture clip be used on the 3.5L?

2. Can the zipper pouch external module be used on the 3.5 liters

[josegulias]

Which size could be advised for a7r III with 35 1.4 and 70-200GM2? Could they fit in the 3, 5? Many thanks, now I’m going to enjoy the video.

[andrewgee]

Hi Mark. I was wondering about your thoughts on storing & carrying the following camera body and four prime lenses using Wotancraft's 3.5 L sling bag.

1x Fujifilm X-T5
1x XF 18 mm F1.4 lens
1x XF 23 mm F1.4 lens (type 2)
1x XF 33 mm F1.4 lens
1x XF 56 mm F1.2 lens (type 2)

Regarding the hobbit travel pouches. Would either the xs or s sized versions of these hobbit travel pouches fit these lenses individually?

Look forward to your comments soon.

All the best. 🙂

[pdbdd]

could you put a full frame sony with a tamron 35-150 verticle with a sony 16-35 next to it in the pilot3.5l?

[tilikumtim]

These bags looks good, was tempted to get the 7L bag but it's way overpriced (like most things to do with photography!)

[__sunilsamuel]

Which part of India are you travelling to ?

[tarmopekola]

Thanks for the great video! I'm wondering if that 3, 5L can fit iPad Mini?
