Excellent EDC for my Nikon Z50 kit
I like Peak Design and their products as they are thoughtfully designed and well made, and their prices reflect that. I carry my Nikon Z50 with both the 16-50mm and 50-100mm lenses (with either attached they still all fit) with me just about everywhere I go, and the other pockets stash away memory cards, batteries, tools, etc. What's nice about my Z50 is that I can charge the battery in-camera with just a cord, so I don't need to carry a bulky charging brick the size of an UNO deck. I know some people complain about that if storing that brick in the front pocket as it would be a tight fit and protrude out, but I guess I don't have that problem. I keep my phone and AirPods in that front case.I like to use this bag mainly as a fanny pack but will occasionally sling it across my body. The strap does tuck away into the bag when used as a waist pack, but it's a bit cumbersome to tuck the straps away if you accidentally pull it out, which is really my ONLY complaint about this bag. But that's it, everything else is great! I don't use the advertised strap to mount my Capture Clip, where some users complain that they can't freely open the zipper when mounted there. When I'm wearing the sling I just put the camera away inside the zippered compartment when I'm not using it. I use the Capture Clip on my backpack straps to keep my camera handy but I don't use the Sling and backpack at the same time.This pack looks and feels like a proper, but bigger, fanny pack, and I like how discreet it looks as it doesn't scream "EXPENSIVE PHOTO GEAR INSIDE." I can wear it in front, back, side, or slung over my shoulder, but my wife makes fun of me when I do that, calling the Sling my purse. This bag goes everywhere with me, at least in the car, and can easily be packed in a larger backpack if needed. I tend to sling it around the headrest of my passenger seat for easy access whenever I go out.The strap tightens easily and is fairly sturdy. I would feel very confident carrying this crossbody or waist style in an untrustworthy area as it would be difficult to quickly cut the straps and someone trying to yank it off me would likely not be able to break any of the hardware securing the straps.I thought about buying the bigger versions for when I bring other lenses but decided that this was the perfect size for EDC after using it for a few months now. I haven't taken it on any trips or vacation yet, just some street and local photography, as well as some indoor middle school sporting events. It's expensive, but I think it's worth every penny paid.Keep in mind that my Z50 is mirrorless, and has a smaller profile than traditional DSLRs. Closing the zipper is an EXACT fit in multiple configurations (Body + 50-200, 16-50 in divider; Body + 16-50, 50-200 in divider), and even so, I have to be deliberate in how I place it, but that's okay because I like to have the camera gear snug to prevent any damage during activity. The bag is well padded and I am confident in its protection ability. I don't ever have to move the divider regardless of what lens is on the body, just tweak the flex fold divider petals and it's all set.Highly recommended.

Stunning in true Peak Design fashion
Peak Design is known for their impeccably styled product line. This fits perfectly into their lineup of camera bags. It is stylish and well padded to protect your camera while on the go.The strap can be adjusted to be used as a waist pack or as a shoulder sling. It sports a padded area of the strap to prevent it from rubbing against your neck. There is a convenient carry handle on top as well. Included are two straps that attach to the bottom to carry a tripod with you. I noticed that my tripod had a little extra give than I would prefer when attached, but I am assuming if you had the Peak Design tripod this wouldn't be an issue. The fabric appears to be at least water resistant, with thick zippers for the two compartments.Inside there is one divider that is origami style in that it can be folded to meet your individual needs. I found I could fit my mirrorless body with one medium length lens attached plus two extra batteries in the main compartment, or if I detached the lens I could fit one medium length and one short prime lens in with the body by folding the divider differently. If you have a cage attached to your camera body, things will be considerably tighter. I would recommend removing the divider completely and sticking to one lens for a secure fit that isn't crammed in.As with all Peak Design products, this is a pricey bag. Depending on your needs though this may be worth the extra money, as it is made extremely well and offers some unique features not commonly found in 3L bags.

Lives up to its "everyday" name
Good design. I put my Fujifilm x100 in it most of the time, perfect size. I occasionally put my Sony A74 with some zoom attached, also good fit but strictly no second lens. Quality wise top notch.

Really nice bag, fits more than most 3L, but difficult to get camera in/out
I recently got a FujiFilm X-T5 with a 16-80 zoom lens and I've tried multiple bags. I wanted something that could be a sling or waist bag that wasn't big/bulky and had sufficient padding and (hopefully) a light-colored interior.This bag is VERY well made, attractive, classy, and very durable and checked all the boxes. Surprisingly, my camera does fit (minus the lens hood), but the main opening takes some effort to pull outwards and it is a two handed struggle to get the camera in/out. I used it for about 2 weeks until other options arrived. The pockets and organization and customization is great for such a small bag, but I couldn't fit my phone (Samsung Note 20 Ultra) or keys in the front, it can hold a battery, some SD cards and a small cable, but the more you put in the more interior space you're taking up from the main section.I loved the adjustable divider and I felt like my expensive piece of equipment was very well protected. It was fairly comfortable to wear with well made straps and hardware and it was hard to get things twisted.I take most of my pictures while walking my 110lb borzoi in all weather. I obviously have one hand very much occupied and in a perfect world I could fit some poop bags and my phone and keyfob and pocket knife in my camera bag.I ended up trying a wandrd roam 3L and 6L bag after getting this one and after all the bags I've tried I fell in love with the 6L Roam and didn't even test the Roam 3L other than to take photos (Camera with lens did not fit in that 3L at ALL).If you have a smaller camera or just a smaller lens, this is a great, comfortable, well-made, durable, and attractive bag. It looks, feels, and wears like it will last a really long time. For me, I just need a faster quicker one-hand ability to take my camera in/out so I had to go with something bigger.
