Field Pouch V1 was just mint. Especially the front 'centered' connector for your capture clip. i have an Olympus Pen-F which fitted nicely on the center of that version 1 bag. Version 2 of the bag is everything everyone says positive around styling, fit, capability, how much it holds. just awesome. What is not good and I'd say PD has mucked it up is that the clip holders on the side are too close to the flap edges. When you add a capture clip then slide my camera in it takes a centimeter or more of the side of the flap up from the velcro strip. it makes the flap less secure. its ruins the nice smooth look, and it most importantly makes sliding the camera off and on smoothly a two-handed chore. For this reason alone its not a good fit for a camera & clip unless you have enough gear in it to pull the flap further up the bag. not ideal at all.
I bought the field pouch V2 to use it mainly as an everyday bag, since i'm not a photographer. As an owner of 5L Sling, i needed a smaller bag to carry everyday essentials. I was surprised that my iPad mini also nicely fits inside. The quality of the bag is excellent, as every other product (and I own or i have owned 3-4 peak design products). I think it's perfect for what i'm intending to use it. Some comment (maybe for future improvement): 1. in the internal pocket there are 5 places (mainly for memory cards). It would be better if this part was more elastic and not use a fine thread, which I'm pretty sure it will not hold. 2. The strap is a great addition in V2 to use it as a sling bag. But "it's not very peakdesign". For sure i will purchase the Leash soon.
I am really enjoying the Field Pouch V2. I got it to have less stuff in my pants pockets. When I go on photo walks, I usually don't need all that I carry, so this makes things a lot easier. Seems like great quality and I also like the way it looks and use it for an everyday carry in the warmer weather.
