Thread: help needed on finding a case that can fit X100 + X10

Very deep, big pockets, etc. I carry a full (and I mean FULL) m43 setup with that bag sometimes, but not just a couple of small cameras. I have a Domke 5XB which doesn't look like a purse at all to me. I generally wear it as a sling and the bag usually rides on my lower back with the strap over my left shoulder and under my right arm, with the bag sliding around my right hip as I move it from the front (for access) to the back (for walking and shooting). Its a perfect size for my X100, X10, and Ricoh GXR 28, along with extra batteries and other small accessories.

For two small cameras with fixed lenses, there are probably a hundred workable options. But the Domke 802/803 is just too much bag.

OK, sorry, found the F8. Looks almost identical to the fxb, slightly less length, slightly more depth and width. Exterior pocket instead of interior. Looks just as much or as little like a purse!

Looks fine. Probably a good size - a little more than you'd need, but room for a flash or some other accessory as well as the two cameras. As noted I use mine for three small cameras, but two would work, maybe laying down rather than standing on their sides. Actually, its got additional pockets in the ends and in the flap. Jeez, now you've got me interested in this one. I may have to get one of these to replace the 5 XB. Looks like a bit of an improvement in terms of how the space is configured and the pockets...

Anyone want a used 5XB?

So if it will hold an x100 it should hold my rangefinder, and if the x10, then my g12 it would seem? Hmm. :D

I use the Snapr 35 with my X100, has two zippered pouches each side to hold batteries and a garage door front that quickly unzips and the camera glides up on a tether then back down again. It'd be perfect

I followed the link but the product description fails to indicate if they use Velcro for the flaps, I HATE the tearing sound of Velcro especially if I'm trying to be stealthy.

I wish it was leather, hey, I don't care if it looks like a purse! :D Already using a Lucky Brand messenger bag in orange! It's big though.

My macro lens is bigger than that bag. I think what I REALLY need to do is weed out about 30 cameras and then I will know better what I 'need" to carry the rest.

@ Isoterica

well i had this leather bag
it's great (looks and specs) but just too heavy (over 1kg)
so i had to sent it back
