The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

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.

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 (y)

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

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!!!
