Hi all,

I have a Fuji X-T1 and a few lenses. I used to have a Canon 50D and loved my Tamrac Evolution 9 Backpack. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/1744851461/tamrac-evolution-9-photo-backpack-review

However, now I've switched, I find the camera just falls around inside unless I've got a large lens fitted. Does anyone know of something similar that isn't made with a large SLR fixed camera holding area? I like the backpack style as I do mainly landscape.

Thanks all

Steve
 
Is it possible to rearrange the dividers, or buy more and create small spaces for you current setup?

I've had a go, but the main area near the three openings doesn't have anywhere to stick the velcro. I will ask the wife though, she is better at jigsaws!
It just seems to be made for a large camera
 
Is your pack large enough to fit an insert? If you Google "Camera Bag Inserts" you'll see what I mean. There seem to be quite a few available.

Thinktank have a new bag for mirrorless - http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/perception-pro-black.aspx

It's in other sizes and a different colour too. Never seen one, I was just looking on their website and it reminded me of this thread. If a shoulder bag is ok, I have the retrospective 7 and that would probably be small enough for a mirrorless set up.

Crumpler make things called banana bowls that you can put in any bag in different sizes too. (http://www.crumpler.eu/index.cfm?seite=photo&Banana-Bowl&productID=7863&sprache=EN)

Failing that, f stop gear make the kenti and another one and they make an ICU designed for mirrorless stuff to fit in called the micro ICU. (http://shop.fstopgear.com/us/products/icu/micro-icu/tiny-micro-icu.html#.VKWb-37fWrU) the 7th picture shows an eos M set up, I don't have a mirrorless camera so I don't know if it's a similar size to the xt-1 but it has 2/3 lenses in with it. That's an expensive option though.

one last option would be to get a few lens wraps, like the ones Domke or Tenba make and just put them in a comfortable bag (a link to Tenba wraps - http://www.dalephotographic.co.uk/mall/departmentpage.cfm/DalePhotographicOnline/_447009/1/Lens%20Wraps)

Thanks for the ideas guys. I like the look of the thinktank bag and will do some research on it.
