My New Photography Daily Carry - Perfect For Street & Travel

[@geogu3images]

For stealth I stopped using my cameras on a strap, or carrying a backpack. For a while I used briefcase style bags and wrist straps. Now I use non-flap top slings like this Bellroy in 6L or 10L with a PD wrist strap. For EDC I take single lens 40mm 2.5 G on a Sony A7C or a Voigtlander 35mm f2 on a Leica CL (a great experience), with my GR3x in for real stealth. Thanks for bringing this bag to my attention.

[@seanivrymusic]

tried the peak and bellroy slings and ended up getting the 10l bellroy camera bag. liked it so much I ended up getting a second one for my edc carry. I keep my xt30 and two lenses and accessories in one and all my edc bag in the other. I can easily make room if I want to carry my camera with my edc stuff for one bag, otherwise I can carry my Fuji kit when I'm out shooting. luckily got them on Black Friday sale for almost half off!

[@thecarolpatton]

I love how you said a crossbody bag is like a table. This verbalized why I don't like keeping my camera in my backpack. I always have to take it off/on every time I want to get my camera.

[@blackmamba6938]

There's backpacks you can flip around and use like a table as well.

[@jyaron]

Love this video, thanks for it. Can you speak to how your view has changed since a year ago? In your video on prime lens mistakes, you conclude that the simplest mistake you can make is taking all of your primes lenses with you and that “from now on” you would only take one prime lens with you. One year later, you’re describing here taking 3 prime lenses with you and no zooms.

[@lknhd]

i have the same question :D

[@RumoHasIt]

I believe he takes 3 prime lenses when he travels, but only 1 lens out on a photo walk at a time? ​@@lknhd

[@T29BSB]

I’ve got the same bag, fantastic camera bag and holds my Nikon z6ii with a 24-70 2.8 plus filters… I love how it conforms to your body where as the peak design one is just so boxey and sways everywhere imo

[@remusnaeve2913]

My setup as a hobby photographer is: Xpro-2, X-M1, XF 35mm f1.4, XF 50mm f2, ttArtisan 27mm f2.8. It's all I need for a day and night walk. The X-M1 with 35mm is usually my night-time portrait combo,due to its built in flash, or for unobtrusive shots of people due to its very small size. All of these fit in a tiny sling bag (Nutsac Stachel 11), although I don't pad it, since I don't go easy on my gear.

[@Box500spooks]

I also was a Peak Design user, and switched to the Bellroy sling camera bag. It's a fantastic bag.

[@pimentovski2011]

Congratulations on your channel! I upgraded to the x-t5 from the amazing x-t2 for main reasons: much improved autofocus for fast subjects and face recognition for my kids; and IBIS... everything else was a big bonus! I prefer the 16 1.4, the 33 and the 90. The 18 although better for cropping and faster autofocus , the 16 brings something different. The 18 is like phone pictures with better IQ. You should check the wotancraft pilot 7L. I use it this primes, and with extra dividers I can fit another F2. And it can be expanded!

[@Wes179]

I’ve been using bellroy’s sling bag for years as my daily carry camera bag, never has failed me no matter where I’m at 😎

[@jennenicole9014]

Is it padded enough to protect the camera?

[@spooksmagee]

The 90 f/2 is a gem of a lens. I regret selling mine sometimes. But the 33 f/1.4 it paid for gets more use these days.

[@absolu222]

I run the 18mm f1.4, the 35mm f1.4 and hesitated so long between the 56mm 1.2 WR, 90mm f2, but landed on the Viltrox 75mm since I have the 100-400 for wildlife. The 90mm looks sweet though!

[@TheWordySeagull]

love this setup. I just bought the X-t5 which is an ugprade for me from X-s10 which was an upgrade from my X-t1. I have been in love with Fuji for the past 10 years. My first camera was a Nikon F3 with a 50mm lens which I totally loved until the day it was stolen from me. Great video, a simple and effective 3 x 1 setup!

[@thesuperjohn57]

Roman, do you ever see scenarios in your carry where you would switch out the 90 or 33 with the 56 1.2? can you also touch on why you went with the 90mm f2 over the 80mm macro? i assume its because the 90 focuses faster, is lighter, is brighter, and you dont need the sharpness, macro and weight that the 80mm brings? Would you also ever bring the 70-300 over the 90? Sometimes I find that 70-300 lives on my xt4 when im out on the street.

[@BenSussmanpro]

Looks good but what I use for a day of street shooting or travel is the Titan mini coolers meant for food & drink. I don’t know if these are available in UK but they’re cheap, sturdy as hell and insulated. It only holds camera with a standard zoom lens but you can fit an extra battery, cards, & cleaning cloth. They travel well too. Except for photo gigs I don’t use anything else.

[@jenniferdavenport9571]

I like to travel and carry a smaller kit…xt3 with 23 f2 on except in low light where I pull out the 35 1.4. I would love the xt5 with that 90 as I just got back from Venice and would have liked the range. I carry everything in my 3L PD sling. Thanks for your videos!

[@thetoyota86perspective54]

Agree, the 3L PD sling is king

[@mikefoster6018]

I tried moving to a cross body camera strap, but am generally back to my wrist strap and sling bag now. The cross body strap just always felt in the way, even if (in theory) it only takes a couple of seconds to slide the camera into position - and I didn't like the camera slightly digging into my back as it bounced around. My X-T5 with 16-55mm is a bit heavy in the hand, on that wrist strap, but still carryable for an hour or two (then it goes in the sling bag to give my fingers a short rest). I am tempted to buy the 33mm prime lens, mainly to save 295g in weight. Having said that, I actually like how the forward weight of the 16-55 creates a nice tilted furrow for my fingers to 'get into' in the grip when walking. Whereas a lighter lens makes the camera tilt back further and require more grabbing from my thumb to stop it sliding out of my hand. It's possible to halve the weight on your fingers by attaching the wrist strap to the far side of the camera so that it starts to take a lot of the burden. But that then drags the wrist strap clip onto buttons and the screen. I feel that problem could be fixed by future technical designs - with an eye to attack a wrist strap further down the side of the camera and a wrist strap with less plastic at that end. (You can get the hand strap to take a little bit of the weight by attaching it to a piece screwed into the underside of the camera.)

[@alfabravo80]

The Bellroy bag seems much better than the Peak Design equivalent that I currently have. Especially the ability to switch shoulders by adjusting the padded part of the sling.

[@snapsbyfox]

Yeah having used both I would say the bellroy is a better overall product but at a price.

[@elwick_photo]

Just to mention you can switch the shoulder on the peak design 10L it just requires you take the strap off and turn it round. Belroy probably simpler, just thought I'd make sure you weren't missing that! Know I did for the longest time.

[@alfabravo80]

@@elwick_photo Thank you 🙏

[@grahamwhite2782]

I have this same sling in Green and it’s so much better for a casual day out. I still travel with my Billingham Hadley Pro, but the Bellroy is a game changer. You can also fit an iPad mini or Kindle inside if you’re clever with the dividers, plus sunglasses, and plenty of spare batteries. I also use a smaller (7l, I think) Bellroy sling for days when I’m just out the X100V, so check that out too. Yes, it is on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for!

[@Xer0.Visual5]

I was just thinking the same thing 😅

[@mikephotos225]

I personally like either the Turnstyle 10 or Turnstyle 20 sling bags, both made by Think Tank. They are both more customizable to fit your photography equipment than the Bellroy. I use my 10 for local area travel and the slightly larger 20 for more extensive travel when I want to carry more lenses and accessories.

[@Oran_h]

I personally use the peak design 3, and 6 liter sling and I love them Shooting with A7r iv and a6500 when I want a lighter setup Can fit a lot of accessories if needed in both of them

[@ggudmundsson128]

Thanks!

[@snapsbyfox]

Thank you!!

[@charliejg]

The 90 f2 is really a good lens. Right now, it's my longest reach Fuji lens. So, I use it for sports and getting up close to wildlife while hiking. I was lucky enough to get a barely used copy at a great price back in fall when all the new Fuji bodies and lenses were announced and people were selling "old stuff" to get new stuff! LOL! I'm still in that more affordable X-T3 and still really like it. Have a great weekend!

[@Fifsson_]

I think what people seem to forget that camera's image quality doesnt degrade over time. If you bought and XT-3 when it was the top of the line, it's still the same exact top of the line camera from a few years ago and is more than enough for just about every use case.

[@charliejg]

@@Fifsson_ Exactly! It certainly is more capable than I am right now. So much to learn and improve upon.

[@thepirateshoots]

I've got the T3 besides my H2 and can confirm it is a very capable camera! ❤😊❤

[@charliejg]

@@thepirateshoots It's a great camera. I was lucky to get a barely used one with the 18-55, non battery grip, and all the original stuff still in the wrapping in the original box a little over two years ago. You can't beat it for the price. I looked at others and the bodies alone cost more than I paid for everything.

[@ghostofgw7781]

Despite the battery im still travelling with my XT3 and never felt penalized by this camera, im buying lens instead of a new body.

[@bluebeadyeye]

💯 agree on the Bellroy bag - I must have tried every bag in existence but this one's by far the best I've used, the PD ones are far too rigid and actually not that much space in them. Costly but worth every penny 👌

[@jamesonwestonphoto]

I’ll have to look into that Bellroy bag, I’m still carrying around my kit canon t3i sling with my X-T5…would be nice to finally upgrade and as you’ve said in the past getting a bag that isn’t a well known brand can stop some thievery which is always a plus when carrying 3k worth of stuff at least every day.

[@f1remandg]

Roman! A while since watching you and happened to hit on this bag change, looks good and soft flexible, I have Tenba and similar but totally understand and accept the softer flex feel, I actually have a Mantaray bag that is fantastic for photography, comfortable and sectioned, doesn’t look camera oriented and I have looked for years to find another. Your photos are as always, incredible, I love the composition and lighting that you grab. You look a little harassed in this one and struggling on direction, are you overthinking, I remember the back button focus vlog and your workarounds, brilliant if a little rushed, you remind me of my son, don’t assume a persons level, great advice is a returned subscriber. Regards DG

[@kalistratov_photos]

90 mm is an incredible lens. It makes you take pictures you wouldn't take with other focal lengths. I prefer it much more than 56 mm.

[@ghostofgw7781]

One of the best Fuji lens

[@francisgarofalo3434]

I have the XT5,16mm f1.4, 33mm f1.4 and( 80 mm f2.8 or 56mm f 1.2 or 70-300mm). I'm very happy with the 80 macro but the 90mm has tempted me.The 33mm is probably used 85% of the time so getting another lens is probably a waste of money.

[@par__m3]

I have a trip to Italy coming up so naturally I went overboard buying bags. I have the Peak Design 10L but felt like it was far too bulky to use for travel. I ended up getting the Bellroy Venture 9L sling (non camera) and it works great for carrying a body + lens plus other essentials. You can even fit another lens in there if you really want to, but I think it's best suited to just a body + lens. I still think I might want to pick up the Venture camera bag for more photography focused travel in the future where I might want to have an additional lens or two on me. I love how the Venture series don't look like camera bags and aren't bulky unless you fill them up. They seem to be built very well.

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

Thank you. I’m no longer shooting with Fuji but it’s a great reference . Take care.

[@danielsalas617]

Love this Belroy bag, you can carry a decent amount of weight in it and it’s super comfortable

[@SCEmissary]

Pretty informative, thanks for this. Funnily I find a lot of my gear here. I also upgraded to the X-T5 (coming from a X-T30, so thing like the "cheaper feel" you mentioned in another video don't apply for me). I tested the Viltrox 13 mm and it is pretty nice but also way too wide for me. Guess I'll give the 18 mm 1.4 a chance. The 90 mm 2.0 is one of my favorites for quite some time now. Happy to see you enjoy it as well. For in between I got an old 27 2.8 dirt cheap but I can't get comfortable with it. Might give the 33 mm 1.4 a chance someday. For now the zoom will have to do in this range. And now you made me think about this kinda pricey but nicey sling bag...

[@darren_meredith]

Good timing. I was just looking for a sling bag for days out and carrying 1-2 lenses.

[@lholscher435]

Interesting to see your daily carry. For me the one camera that tends to be with me the most is a XT20 with an 18-55 on it. It's what I carry when I'm traveling usually, what I used in Portugal and does most of what I need. Professionally I use the XT 5 the most and for portraits if I have the room the 90 f2 is my go to. The rest of the time I fall back to the 16-55. Love the XT5, might have to travel with that in the future.

[@laurelb8372]

Totally agree, bought XT20 as a spare when my big heavy Nikon dslr was in for service. Just live the T20 paired with that excellent kit lens, has given me some stellar shots and I love how small & light it is

[@andrewmcgalliard8987]

I've been looking at the Bellroy sling for a while and I think you've just sold me on it.

[@juliette-mansour]

Hi Roman, you are living my life :). I definitely am interested in the bag. Peak Design is no longer for me, for the reasons you stated in the video. I love your gear page!

[@jordangrobe8698]

Great recs! Give that pocket Joby tripod a shot on the X-T5 - I've actually successfully used it for some long exposures in a pinch! May not work as well with those heftier new f/1.4s, but it even managed on the 18-55 when I wasn't zoomed in at all. It even works successfully on the bigger lenses if you add an S adapter like a Smallrig Magic Arm ($4-$8, either the 2157 if you add a female adapter or the 1135 which comes with one but is also a little heavier) which moves the center of gravity forward under the longer lenses; can be tricky to get right, but it'll be stable /enough/ for some quick long exposures or self-portraits when on the go for an extremely compact option. Also for a smaller sling I see you've got the 2.5L Bellroy listed, which is a solid option, but I just picked up a TomToc and wanted to throw that recommendation out there - it's a 4L but nice and slim profile, and it can fit my X-T5 with the 35mm f/1.4 attached + something as large as the 70-300 next to it. Most packed out I've gotten it was with the X-T5 with the TTartisan 25mm f/2 attached + the TTartisan 50mm f/2 (love having two pancake options) + the 18-55mm for video + an Instax Link Wide printer. The printer is a comparatively huge and unwieldy shape, but it fits in there nonetheless.

Really like the setup here! I went over to your blog page and noticed that you've selected the Uniqlo Sling as the bag alternative. May I know more about the reason for it? Wouldn't it be less protective to the gear with its minimal padding interior? Thanks!

[@Playerdue]

At the moment I have quite a messy lineup of lenses, but I end up using them all on my X--S10 for different reasons! Apart from the excellent XF 18-55mm, I have the Fringer adapter from EF to X mount and I continue to use the EF-S 10-18mm (it's very sharp and was quite affordable), the EF 50mm f/1.4 I bought with my first photography gig and the EF 100mm macro. I also recently started using the 7artisans 7.5mm!

[@jimtrull683]

Roman I enjoy watching your channel. I like to see how you work on the street with the gear you use.

Managed to snag the Bellroy camera sling at Christmas on sale, really pleased with it and the way it self compresses. I'm mostly shooting landscape and a bit of wildlife and it fits my XH2 16-80 and 70-300 perfectly. Grappling with whether to replace the 16-80 for something a bit sharper.

Thanks for an informative video Roman. Personally I'm running a similar setup with the xt5, 18mm f1.4, 35 f2 and viltrox 75 f1.2. couldn't agree more about the 1.4 primes, amazing sharpness with great cropping potential. Might have to consider the 33 at some point...

[@oeaasmundsen]

Out of all my lenses, the ones I bring daily are the 18mm 1.4, 33mm 1.4, and the Viltrox 75mm 1.2 mounted on my X-T5. And it all fits in my Peak Design Sling 6l. But when I receive the new Viltrox 27mm 1.2, there might be some changes in my sling 😅 I'm amazed by the quality of the Viltrox 75mm. Hopefully the 27mm will be just as good.

[@michael2968]

i have an 18-55mm but im thinking of getting the 18mm f2 to reduce size and weight in my travel bag, i already have the sigma 56 1.4 so the 2 primes should cover me for wide + detail shots. but i also wouldnt mind getting the bigger 55-200mm for zoomies as well.

I know this is very personal but I'm looking to buy 1 of the these 1.4 LM lenses to start with for my Xh2. We do street/city/indoor photograpy/video. I just can't make up my mind between the 18/23/33 I think the 18 might be better for indoors. I heard the 23 has the best starbursts at night. And i'm also afraid the 33 might be to tight for me. Decisions wich I have a hard time with.

This has been the same conclusion i have come to, only i have (and love) the 35 1.4. I have the 90f2 but not the 18 1.4. I've been using my 18-55 as my 18. But i would prefer the 18 1.4 or 16 2.8. Can't decide really, but i'm a sucker for the 1.4 aperture and knowing the optics are the best fuji can offer. I'm actually considering selling my x100v and buying a second body and/or the 18 1.4....

Makes a lot of sense! Used to own the 80mm macro and did not bring it as it was quite heavy but the image quality is really good. The 90 is also on my list now. 😅 Traveling soon and trying out a new kit: XH2S with the both the new 23 and 33 lenses ❤

[@mahdimanesh4221]

PS: What happened to your 50-140? 😅😊

[@thisisbenji90]

I have a Bellroy Sling, it's kind of a PITA to get items out of when there's tension on the strap. Is this the same case with the camera specific bag?

[@everardopastor]

Awesome share! What changed your mind between the XH2S to the XT5 as your primary camera, or perhaps even the XH2?

[@snapsbyfox]

I haven't changed my mind and I don't think I really have a primary camera as such. The XH2s is a workhorse while the XT5 is a pure photo first cam. I use both equally depending on the end goal

[@hardtrailrider]

Do you carry a travel tripod?

[@jshet]

What camera and lens was this shot with?

[@КапитонЗалипукин]

I would add a rubber air blower to clean the lens and softest running shoes you can find:)

[@snapsbyfox]

I use Allbirds which I love. I have an air blower but I don't take it out with me tbh

[@Brian444]

@@snapsbyfox I have recently picked up a VSGO smartlifetime portable mini airblower as it is heaps smaller compared to my previous blower. This one is small enough to fit in any kit. Worth taking a look I’d say.

[@ALWH1314]

I really wish my Sony has the same tilt/screen on XT5.

[@63MacGuy]

Perfect video as I'm switching from Sony to Fuji😊Where did you get your bag and other equipment?

[@snapsbyfox]

random places. anywhere where the price I good. Some amazon, some WEX or similar stores

[@elliotresnick5433]

Hi Roman, a month or so ago, I thought you were “all in” with the XH2s?? Can you explain the use cases for taking the X-T5 vs XH2s with you & these same prime lenses?

[@snapsbyfox]

I’m never in on any one camera. At the moment I been shooting mostly on my iPhone. Other times in between the XH2 and XH2s especially when I need to film videos at the same time as they are better tools. When I want to just go out and take photos with a camera, the XT5 comes in. They all take the same photo and do pretty much the same thing. Sometimes I just want a bigger body and video. But the kit you see here is my go to photography kit when I just want to shoot and nothing else

[@elliotresnick5433]

If you were starting out and looking for a great hybrid Fujifilm camera, thinking that stills would account for 70%, would you choose the XH2, XH2s, or X-T5? My impression was that image quality for coming out of all three camera bodies was excellent even though megapixels varied. Cheers!!

[@elliotresnick5433]

@@snapsbyfox Let me rephrase; what do you think is a better companion to the XH2s when I just go out and take photos, X-T5 (since I own the lenses), X100v or possibly even GRIII??

[@StevenBussey]

What is the total weight for this sort of setup?

[@robj1366]

Thanks for the update, the bag looks excellent do you think it would take the XH2 with a 16-80mm ?

[@snapsbyfox]

oh easily

[@marcohernandez9635]

Great set up! Love all the great content. I recently purchased the clever supply co. 6L and pretty much have the same set up. 18,33 and 90 thank you for all the content you create, it’s very helpful.

[@RossAnderson-v8u]

Very i nteresting video, Roman, thanks. I nearly purchased the Bellroy 10 litre bag to replace a sling of about 6 litres as the extra space would be great. Just before pulling the trigger I did a size comparison, using the Bellroy website figures and found the internal dimensions 190x270x100mm volume calculates to be 5.13 litres which is only half the expected 10 litres claimed. It is deceptively smaller than my existing therefore didn't get one.

[@blackmamba6938]

They should've added a flat back pocket for a phone or passport or something flat. I think that's what this bag is missing. Their 9L and 6L models have this feature. I don't get why they omitted it in this version.

[@mjfutd]

Is this the 9L version

[@amaridev]

I saw the magnet rings on some of your lenses. Do you use some sort of filters?

[@snapsbyfox]

not yet... For video now and then but for photo I might experiment in the future

[@DanaPushie]

I like the minimalist setup Roman, seems especially useful for street and travel photography. Buying quality usually pays off in the long run, if you can afford it. Thanks for sharing.

[@VeloObscura]

Question! Why do you favor the sd card reader over just using the X-App? Cheers!

[@adamclarke3310]

Probably because xapp doesn't let you access raw files

[@snapsbyfox]

Yes, X-App doesn't do raw files. The JPEGs take forever to transfer and when I first downloaded the app, it would not work unless I had location enabled...

[@VeloObscura]

@@snapsbyfox - Gotcha! X-App doesn't really seem to have gotten any faster 😅 Cheers!

[@PitNeex]

face sunscreen! And don't forget to apply on the top of the ears 😁

[@MichaelKussmaul]

I use the 18mm and 33mm on my X-T4 the most. I sold the 90mm last week. I collected more dust on my shelf than I was using it. The 90mm is a beautiful lens anyway.
