It's a bit small but I really like my XP Pen Aritst 10. Just a USB C connection and it's also a pen tablet.

Looking for recommendations for a small backpack or sling to hold a mirrorless camera and 2 lenses that will allow me to bike around the city confidently. I was putting my last camera in my panniers and, well, that was a bad idea because it broke from the jostling. Alternatively, a good soft shell case that I can put in my panniers. Waterproofing and at least some shock absorption are way more important to me than easy access to my stuff -- I don't need to be able to whip my camera out at a moment's notice necessarily.

If you have a backpack you like already, you could just get a camera bag insert, ex. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1461732-REG/ruggard_pib_1mg_camera_insert_gray.html Peak Designs also makes camera cubes that look pretty good.

Yeah, that's perfect and both cheaper and less dorky looking than a lot of the bags I was seeing. Thanks!

I've found that camera bags tend to be really poor options too. They're all bulky and heavy and end up being really inflexible too. I've been much happier adapting a generic bag that actually fits me. Padded camera wraps exist too and are an alternative/supplement for ICU's that are worth looking at. Can wrap a lens in a soft neoprene layer and then cram it into a layer of clothes or a jacket or whatever and you got a really safe and space efficient storage option.

Coincidentally I was also looking around for something similar recently. I have a few plane trips later this year, short and long distance, so I was hoping to find a backpack that could competently double duty as a carry on bag and camera bag. Nothing really came up in my price range that could actually fit a decent amount of stuff in. It looks like a regular backpack with an insert is definitely the way to go.

Osprey is my first stop for that kind of stuff. They're primarily known as a hiking pack company but they have a pretty big lineup and at least in my eyes their backpacking experience results in some really good travel/daily use stuff. They don't make it anymore but I got their Apogee a ways back (it looks like the Tropos is basically the same), it was sold as a laptop/commuter bag but it ended up being excellent for 1-2 days of clothes plus my camera stuff. It even works well on day hikes. Biggest downside is they aren't cheap at all. Added bonus is if you have an REI nearby you can try them on and if you buy it and end up not liking it their return policy is really generous.

The Tenba inserts are great and super cheap, I've been using the byob 9 for like five years and it easily fits in my regular (Timbuktu Authority) backpack. Holds my X-E3, an attached lens, one other lens plus accessories. The 7 might also work depending on the lenses, each are like 30-40 bucks online and imo worth a shot before going for a more expensive option

The Tenba BYOB 9 was the one I landed on in the end, I just need to be able to cram it into a regular fjallraven backpack

I want to save up for a nice wide-angle zoom since I'm getting tired of switching back and forth between my 20mm and 50mm primes - actually I'm fine with it, I think I just have GAS, but I also miss using a zoom yank for rear-sync light trails. So I'm looking at the two Nikon Z models, the (gently caress i always get these numbers mixed up) 28-75mm f/2.8 And the significantly more expensive 24-70mm f/2.8 S model. Reviews seem to suggest that what I'm mostly doing (event photography) means I probably won't miss the extra build quality and features of the S lens, but I'm curious to hear the thread's thoughts on them.

It's a rebranded Tamron along with the other two lenses mentioned on the Nikon product page for the lens. I don't have experience shooting either but Tamron puts it out themselves with some optical upgrades apparently as the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2

I have one of the small peak design inserts and its really nice, has enough space for an x-t3 with the 23mm on, plus a couple other lenses, fits fine into an old swissgear and also has attachment points you can use to just put a strap on it directly and use it as an independent bag.

I feel like you'd need to make a judgement with if the extra width in focal length (24mm vs 28mm) on the wider end is worth the extra cash, especially if you're used to using a 20mm for your wide.

I remembered I already had a good backpack in the back of the closet that I just hadn’t used since the ol’ pandemic and the BYOB 9 looks like it’ll be a perfect fit, which is great!
