I own both the 3L and 6L versions of the Everyday Sling. If you're going to only buy one, I'd recommend the 6L. The 3L will fit a compact mirrorless with a lens mounted and have a little room left for some accessories. You could alternatively leave it unmounted and carry 2 lenses. Where the 3L struggles is the bigger body cameras like a Lumix G9 as it's pushing the limits of the cargo area. Also if you're planning on carrying a tripod and use the Capture Clip at the same time, be aware that it may not work if you want to carry your camera at the same time. It works better if you're trying to stay light with your shot kit.
The 6L has all the same features but obviously more room for the bigger bodies and lenses. It's overall better suited if you need a few things for the day rather than going for light and fast. Fit, finish and thoughtfulness in design is top notch for both sizes.
I bought the 6L unsure if it was the right size however, turned out to be perfect for my needs. I can fit 2 small prime lenses and my a6500 with a 70-350 zoom lens and still have room for a strap in the main compartment. Fits my 10.2” iPad and pen in the back slot and a external battery pack and a few other small items like spare batteries and sd cards on the pouch in front. I still have room for keys and cables. It’s comfortable and able to reach my camera easily at any time. I hang my tripod underneath using the supplies straps.
I've been super happy with this bag, except for one thing. The lack of a stabilizer strap really bugs me. I personally wanted to use this bag a lot in cross-body messenger mode, but without a stability strap, it moves around too much. It makes it pretty annoying to use if you're moving around a lot like on a hike or riding a bike.
If that doesn't bug you, then this bag will be a 5/5. I hope PD thinks about selling a stabilizer strap as an addon or something. That would take this bag to perfect for me.
I received and set up my 10L Sling V2 (Black). Well, almost set up! The bag is spacious enough for my kit. However, I have an issue with the length of the strap.
When I adjust it to fit my 6’ 1” height and barrel chest (50”) with the strap pad in a good position for carrying in a sling position, all is OK. Extending the strap to rotate to the front of my body works well, but that’s when things get tricky. The bag is now high enough above my waist that reaching in to retrieve my camera is not as comfortable as I would prefer. I am cramped!
I can adjust the strap length to make front position access much better, but then, shortening the strap and rotating it back to the sling carry position is uncomfortable as the strap pad is now incorrectly positioned and barely on top of my shoulder, if at all.
While I clearly understand that this is not your typical customer issue, this has reared its ugly head before with your Slide Lite strap. Thankfully you did offer a long version which I purchased and use today.
To sum up, while I’ll keep my sling bag (it's much better than other alternatives), I’d be much happier if there was a long strap option (or an extension?) to make it perfect.
The quality - as it is always at Peak Design - is great. Everything in the Peak Design eco system works just fine together. Sometimes I wish the sling 6l would be a little bit more flexible or the sling has at least 1l more volume. An iPad Pro 11“ does fit but without case. A small camera can be a little bit to big so that the zipper does not close smoothly.
...truth is, with one exception, I'm not. Great clean lines, simple yet effective, easily adjustable shoulder strap, capture compatibility...it's really a great bag. The only thing I wish is that the pockets were a bit easier to access. I have the 10L. This thing even fits my Canon RF 100-500 telephoto along with my R6 w/ 24-105 attached. I can even add a few accessories in the main compartment, leaving the front pocket for smaller bits or a snack. All this in a package that's not oppressively big.
It's a pity. I had to buy a grey version of the next to perfect day case. I wondered how people can design such a near perfect product and not bring it on the market in the colour "Sage". I use it as a case to cycle around with a Z7ii with a double prime kit. Mostly with a 105mc and a 50. The nifty fifty is sometime replaced by the 35/ 1.8 or the ultralight 24-50. Always carry a Spydercube inside. With an arca swiss plate on the Z7ii it just fits. Be aware you don't buy the 10L version. You will carry too much. Or should a just buy the ultra-small one and start the one lens challenge?
