Form over function
on August 12, 2021
Posted by: Mick
from Rusted Bible Belt
I bought the 6L to carry a Nikon Z and the 14-24 or the 24-70 f 2/8. They barely fit, but is functional for that purpose.
The outside pocket zipper is at the sloping top, so all of the space above the zipper is wasted. The sloped top also makes carrying a lens verically oriented impossible. The sloping sides also create wasted space, it's more like a 5.5L bag.
Since all of PD inserts are vertically oriented, you can't stack say a Nikon 50 mm Z on top of the 24-70. Oh well.
The bag is well made but falls flat on the design, looks great but with a large mirrorless lens the only thing I can put in the outside pocket is a tiny notebook and some eye drops.
There is enough room to carry the 14-24 S with the large hood with a 112mm filter attached. So it works for what I bought it for, a single lens and a Z camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best sling I've ever owned.
on May 26, 2021
Posted by: Roy R.
I was an extremely happy owner of a sling V1 (5L). After years of almost daily use, the zipper slightly separated. It still worked, and I could continue using it, but there was now a small gap.
Not thinking too much about it, I filled up a warranty form on the PD website.
Within a day, during the weekend, I got an email back saying they would upgrade me to the V2 6L, and which color I would prefer. Within about a week and a half I already had a new Midnight sling.
AND I LOVE IT. It's now a bit taller, a bit flatter, but it feels like I can cram into it just about twice as much as before. It's also extremely comfortable to wear around all day.
The only small gripe I have with it is the fact that I've lost the ability to close the zipper-holder around the fabric loops, to kind of secure them, but it's really the smallest of issues. Everything else about this bag is a huge upgrade.

Fanny Pack Position for the win!
on May 25, 2021

I have the 6L, it tested out the 10L first and it was a lot of space but too big as an everyday carry. The 6L fits perfectly, I find myself using the fanny pack position much more comfortably. It's a great and solid bag.

Innovative Efficiency
on May 22, 2021

Innovative efficiency in a sleek modern design. Everything is at your fingertips, organized and separated. Inserts ingeniously maintain padded distance between items and can be easily adjusted to customize per your needs. Closures are waterproof and dust proof. Quickly adjusts from waist to sling as needed. Simply the best bag out there.

Beautiful, elegant and practical

I got the 3L for my camera. It's just the size I need for my mirrorless camera, an extra lense, bateries and phone. It is so elegant and well build that you feel like wearing even without the camera.

6L sling: form & function
on May 18, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
Hello internet. I love my 6L sling for those days when I don't want to use a backpack (which is often) I typically carry an APS-C (a6300) and 2 lenses with me. I use the capture clip on the sling and its perfect for exploring etc especially on those hot days when you don't want a sweaty back from a backpack. Without the camera on the clip, I can break down the body and two lenses (rolling with a 16mm and 30mm sigma lenses) I keep a PD strap and extra batteries with me. I even sometimes will strap my tripod to the bottom of the sling which works surprisingly well. Honestly, you are the type to keep a camera on you at all times I would give it a whirl. I love it. To the PD team: you guys rule.

Is this a bag for ants?!
on May 15, 2021
Posted by: Jake
I bought the sling 6L after watching what seemed like hours of videos reviewing these bags in detail. The most in depth ones were from PD themselves, finished to the usual unbelievably high standard that made me feel like I'd just made friends with four people in an indie design class. Virtually every video I've seen shows the presenter pulling out countless cameras, lenses and accessories from these bags; like one of those clown cars in a cartoon.
So I thought things would be tight but ok. In practice I can only fit a Canon R6 and choice of any non-tele lens from my kit. I have to remove a divider entirely just to get use out of the bag. Carrying a camera in the middle with a lens either side is never going to happen. The fancy origami dividers? They are such a great idea, but they fold at about half the height of all of my lenses making their use very limited. I can get the 35mm RF under one and just squeeze a 14mm Samyang on top. That's pretty great, but squeezing things in like that means using the bag is a chore.
Likewise for all the pockets, they're great, but getting into them and keeping things in there is just...harder than I'd like.
The strap is also kind of thin, so if you do pack 2 lenses it's going to feel heavy.
I'll try the 10L, because PD know what they're doing and their stuff is so well made and highly finished. Unfortunately though I wish their reviews were a bit more transparent around what would and would not fit into this bag.

Great little bag for camera outings
on May 12, 2021
Posted by: Tim
The 6L easily carries my Canon R5 with my RF 24-70 2.iL lens attached, my 100-500L upright next to it, and my camera accessories. I use the capture clip to attach to the bag's strap and I am ready to go!
