I haven't had a chance to post any photos yet because I've been so busy, but I'm very much enjoying the X100VI

What shoulder bags do we like for it? My PM Sling is a bit overkill, something smaller would be better. I'm thinking probably some sort of top loader like those Lowepro ones may do the trick?

I use an Alpaka Flight Sling 2L IIRC for my xe1.

Perfect size and room for a few odds and ends as well.

The center devider also has a nice soft finish , so happy to pop the camera in without the lens cap on.

Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 5 V2, perfect fit for the X100VI with the Hoage Square hood attached.

I tend to go with a larger bag even if its for one camera, as I like to be ablle to carry other stuff (glasses, water bottle, space for purchases, maybe a book if I'm going by train, lightweight waterproof if reqd. I've laways found small bags just to run out of space. Billingham Hadley Pro is my weapon of choice. THis serves all m y photowalks whether I'm taking one camera or two (my Rolleiflex or Makina 670 will fit alongside a Q3/X100 happily)

That said I often just take the camera naked on a long neckstrap that I can wear crossover

I use a Domke F-901 pouch which is a belt bag, works nice and I can put a spare battery & card in the bottom the camera sits on top of them ever-ready.

That's my old T but my V fits just as easy.

LeeRatters · 2026-10-23T10:01:17+0100

I use an Amazon wax style looking bag usually. Can fit the X100f and the QL17 plus other bits such as batteries, tiny tripod, gloves, bar of chocolate etc

Isn’t that what a wife’s handbag’s for? :lol:

Most of my stuff goes in my pockets, sunglasses go on my head (obviously

) and if I need a drink I’ll just buy one

Sling Bags & Crossbody Bags | For Work, Travel & Commute

Bellroy’s range of sling bags & crossbody bags keep hands free and pockets light. Keep your essentials close for work, travel & your daily commute.

Various sizes and excellent quality. I use a 9l Venture sling with my XT5 but, a 6l would do the job with a X100

snerkler · 2026-10-23T12:19:45+0100

Whilst on the subject of bags, are there any slings that have secure/lockable fastenings to prevent ‘pick pockets’ when in big cities or on travels? I find slings more comfortable but as they tend to be on your back they’re a bit vulnerable to someone accessing them without you knowing. My current travel bag has very loud velcro which makes it obvious if someone’s trying to get in, but slings all seems to be zips

I carry mine across my front when in busy areas or you can always get a couple of locks

Her handbags got her Leica in it

Often I’m flying solo on these sort of trips and getting a drink in some of the urban wastelands I visit can be a challenge!!!

Sigma have just launched the FP Mk2..... with wait for it @Mr Perceptive .............. an optional periscope......

The X100VI has arrived, big shoutout to @imattersuk for an excellent transaction.

I'm off to Newcastle for work on Monday, so that works out quite nicely

Plenty of good shots as you walk along the Tyne in centre-city.

I didn’t get time to do much while I was there this time. I agree though, it’s a great city.

My Vanguard backpack had loops that you can put the zip tags through which makes them tricky to open; I don't know if they do that on their slings?
As Craig1912 said though, I tend to keep my sling at my side or in front of me most of the time. I've got the strap as long as it will go, and I wear it more like a little shoulder bag.

When I take out my Finepix X100 plus 28mm adaptor and three batteries I use the Domke waxed bag. A bit overkill but I love this bag , my son's bought me this for my 50th birthday present. Good thing is it looks nothing of any value etc blend in a bit

I've got a Domke F-6 which I really like - and I agree, part of the charm is that it doesn't look like a camera bag

One from a while back (been going over some older shots as the weather is crap) in April. Thought this one was kinda seasonal

After some advice please ! I had pretty much decided on buying an X-T5 or X-T50 but the demands placed on lenses by that 40mp sensor has made me wonder if a used X-T4 might be better ?

I was thinking of going for the 16-50 f2.8 and maybe a Viltrox 9 or 15mm - are these good enough for the 40mp sensor ?

Thanks

I haven't got much experience with the 40mp sensor, but the Viltrox Air range are excellent lenses, I'm sure they'll be fine.

I tried the 16-50mm f2.8 on the X-T5 and the files looked great to me. Admittedly I didn’t put my lab coat on but the detail looked good.

skullfunkerry · 2026-10-24T18:46:50+0100

Also @justa1972 - I borrowed an X-T5 from Fuji and tried it with my 18mm F/2, which I believe is Fuji's oldest lens; and the shots I got with it looked fine to me.

I am very pleased with the Viltrox 9mm on my X-T4, though not 40MP and I am easily pleased. You are welcome to search Viltrox or 9mm on my Flickr if you like. - Actually don't do that I have not key worded the lens.

I like to 'borrow' my wife's X100 VI from time to time. 40 MP and once I became acquainted with the menu system a little better, quite a lot of fun to use and excellent image quality.

Shoulder bag? I have a Billingham bag. They come in all shapes and sizes.
