The sling 10l is very well made and holds a lot of gear. I have a Fujifilm X-T3 and I can fit a body with the 16-55 attached and the 50-140 and 8-16mm with room to spare.
Great sling for waking around with a small mirrorless setup. I also can use the 5L (but now 6L) to carry my wildlife lens on short walks when I don't want to lug my camera bag around. So far I love the make of it and I look forward to getting more use out of this sling! It was recommended to me by a friend and I would do the same to anyone.
I received this bag 20 minutes before shooting a concert and man did it work out. Easy access to different lenses on my hip and extremely comfortable. Surprised as to how many items I can stuff in it besides the usual batteries, cards, etc. Extremely pleased with this piece and will be back for more PD gear in the future. Horns Up.
This bag perfectly fits my Nikon D7500 with 16-80mm f/2.8-4 attached along with my 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lens. The fabric is a big improvement over the previous version. It is smoother so doesn't pill knits and other delicate fabrics. The quick adjuster seems easier to operate as well. The zips glide smoothly and the bag fits nicely in the small of my back when worn across the body. Thanks Peak Design.
I like this bag, but I really wish I could love it...

Well constructed, and when things go wrong (zipper failure) PD step in and crush all problems. I do have a few quibbles (some that seem to be fixed in 2.0): the bottom straps are a PITB to use for a tripod with flip locks (solved in 2.0); the cornering of the zipper is a failpoint when under load (seems to be solved in 2.0); and there's no stabilizer strap to keep the bag against your back when moving around (still an issue in 2.0). The strap is also a little short for a 6'5" broad human, and because of this it cuts into the neck as opposed to running along the shoulder.
All in all, the bag is good, but I've just had some niggling issues over the past year or two I've been using it.
Minimalists Rejoice - 3L Everyday Sling to the Rescue

I've been searching for a bag that is minimally obtrusive and doesn't always have to be slung over the shoulder; the 3L sling fits the bill. I wear it essentially as a large fanny pack, messenger-style off my lower back / waist. To give you an idea of what I was able to fit in this little sling: Fuji X-T2 (mirrorless) w/ mounted 16mm ultra-wide (comparable to a standard zoom), and additionally TWO small primes in the 23mm & 35mm f2 fuji lenses. Caveat: these lenses are pretty small (not pancakes), but you can definitely pull off one mounted zoom and one standard prime with other setups. Still room for batteries, phone, wallet, SD cards in the additional zipper pouches. Another variable set-up I've done: XT2 + prime, small flash, & transmitter / receiver combo with room to spare.
I give the sling four stars because, although it is a great minimalist bag, getting items in and out can be a bit cumbersome. For example, the outside zipper pocket CAN fit a phone, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll WANT to do it. Once it's in there, rest assured that no one will be pick-pocketing you without eventually getting frustrated themselves at how tight that puppy gets.
If you're looking for a minimalist & comfortable bag to stay light on your feet and encourage you to take your camera everywhere: this is the one. It's not appropriate for professional applications, but is great for hobbyists who want a small walk-around setup.
I just picked up this v2 Everyday sling in the 10L version. I am very impressed with the bag, it's thoughtfully designed and versatile for everyday use.
Pros: -Durable material, but lightweight -Clean, modern design, doesn't scream "camera bag" -Sits flat -Plenty of space and compartments -Fits my 13" MacBook pro in the padded sleeve -Relatively affordable
Cons: -Only two color choices -The shoulder strap release/lock mechanism takes some practice
Overall I'm very happy with it and would highly recommend for photographers and non-photographers.
I really want to like this bag. The features are fantastic and it's an incredibly functional bag... but.. I wish they would of went with a longer body style than a taller design following on a actual sling bag side of things. It's more of a purse than anything. Looks great on my girlfriend, for now I will be sticking to my V1.
