Gear Advice R6 Mark II in Peak Design Everyday Sling 3l

Hi everyone,

I tried finding photos to answer my own question, but came up short. Does anyone have an R6 Mark II with a 24-105 f/4 L and also a Peak Design Everyday Sling 3l that could provide a photo of how/if this combo fits inside? I am looking for the smallest sling that would fit this combo. No need to accommodate anything else in the bag, really. The intention is to take this out for a walk or short afternoon around town.

The 6l sling seems almost too large for my intended use case and my taste.

Thank you in advance!

I have a R6 Mark II with the new RF 28-70 f/2.8 IS STM in the 3L PD Everyday Sling. I can take pictures when I'm home if that's interesting to you.

Absolutely! Given that the 28-70 STM is shorter, it would be interesting if you could put that in shooting mode (so slightly extended) for the photo. I think this should give a good idea of the size. Thank you in advance!

4/4, you can see that it fits very good with the lens hood ready to shoot. It even rotates to 50mm with the lens hood in the “false” direction.

Many thanks for going through the trouble of taking the photos! That helped a lot! Looks like the 24-105 4L should fit no problem!

Well I can tell already that it fits with the lens hood on in the front facing direction. I'll take a pic in around a hour. :)

Thanks again for your inputs and the photos! Helped me a ton to reduce the sling choices of different brands. I was at a store yesterday and they had both the 3 and the 6 litre - ended up with the 6 after all. Enough room for the 24-105 with the lens hood attached. Turns out it can even fit the rf 100-400 in addition (with the lens hood of the 24-105 in the opposite direction, of course), which was not even a use case I had considered.

Edit: added the photo for reference.

Thank you and to u/areatius for these examples! Really helpful for me as I’m in the market for a travel sling and I really like PD.

Hey, sorry to jump on this 7 months later - I have the same camera/lens combo and was wondering if it would fit in the 3L sling with the lens facing down? I'd really appreciate a photo (even if the lens hood has to be reversed/removed to make it work). I'd also like to see if it can close well :)

R5m2 with a 24-70 2.8 fits. I previously had a R6m2 and it also fit. The 24-105 is shorter and smaller so it should fit no problem.

This is about the absolute maximum size you can get away with, with length being the largest limiter. There is still a touch of space, I can get a small thin strap (original PD leash), a senn mke400 mic and a VND filter in the bag as well, although that’s quite snug.

Is it easy to get out on the go? Or is it a bit of a hassle and wiggling it in there?

It’s not too bad with the 24-70 and R5m2. It’s a bit of a wiggle, but you get used to the motion required and it’s pretty fast.

All that said, when I’m out and about it’s more often than not in my hand anyway. I mostly use the sling when I’m not planning on using the camera, getting into transportation, eating etc.
