I bought this bag because of all the positive reviews that I read, but when I re dived the product I was very disappointed with it due to poor padding on the interior of the bag the inserts were very hard and I dropped the bag with some camera equipment in it. The camera equipment did not survive. So as far as I am concerned I would never own a Peak Design camera bag because of that. Your camera straps and capture plates I love, it hate your bags.

So far I absolutely love it. My first camera bag was the 6L sling. Now I switched to full frame, got two camera bodies, and carry additional lenses and flash equipment and the 13L really let's me carry a lot more. It's great design that I expect from Peak and it looks awesome too.

That messenger bag is really beautiful and well designed! I love the new green color too! The only flaw would be that it's more of a DSLR photo bag; my Leica M lenses need way less space in the inserts, so I need to put a camera cube in it… Not so quick to get one out then! As for my Fuji system, it's more okay, but still a bit too wide. And if I want to use it as a computer bag only, then I have to remove all the inserts because the scratch is using up the whole bag. So please make a bit smaller bag one day, promise ? I don't like the sling bags because then it's too tight! There is something missing between this 13 L. bag and the sling 10 L.… Peak: why not combine your camera cube system and your EDC carry so then you can switch from outdoor bags or travel bags to a city bag easily, as you travel goes (just like Shimoda did…) ;) Eager to see the next version of it though ! Cheers, M.

Awful downgrade, so depressing. V1’s top zip was incredible and I used it every day, it was my favourite part about the bag and it was a joy to use. The removal in v2 makes no sense and destroys it completely for me.

I use V1 15 inch and get a replacement V2 13inch due to V1 is end of life. I prefer V1 as 1. I like the material for V1, V2 is more plastic. 2. I like the top zipper on V1, V2 remove this zipper. 3. The space is bigger than V1 15inch 4. The length for V1 strap can be easier to be adjust while for V2. I can easily adjust the length of V1 strap while using. But for adjusting the strap of V2, I always need to unload the bag first from my shoulder, otherwise, it’s very hard to adjust the strap while the bags on my shoulder. For my self, I will prefer V1 rather than V1

Really like this bag… just wish it was a couple of liters bigger. Little tight as an everyday office carry. How about a 15L version?

I bought this bag only yesterday but it works perfectly fine for my Z9 and two small lenses (24-70 and 85). Can even hold my 70-200 including FTZ. Just a fraction more room for the Z9 would have been nice but isn't a real problem. The one thing preventing me for rating 5 starts is the strap. When at full length (I'm a tall guy) the padding isn't centred and doesn't add support on the shoulder any more, only noticed this once I got home. Seems to be a very easy fix, remove the strap and add strap ends with anchors, then use a Slide as the strap. Can even be added retrospectively!

Had the 15L messenger for many years and when I changed to the 13L I feared it would not be enough for my gear. But I am happy to report that it can fit 2 DSLRs, 2 small lenses, 1 large lens, speedlight , trigger, magmod bubble, power bank , batteries, SD cards and anything you might want for a wedding day. As for the quality, classic top of the line peak design.
I bought this when they first offered it on kickstarter, and it's been a staple for all my photoshoots ever since. Thousands of shoots, I think. Well made, looks great, customizable inserts, perfect for my lenses and flashes.

This has been my most used bag over the last few years, especially when not far from home/the car, photographing in the city where it is really nice to be able to do whatever you need to without putting the bag down on a surface, but still being able to then cinch it up and sling it to your back when needed. Keeps water out even from the sides surprisingly well in all day rainy weather. Holds more than you would expect it to and it’s great to have that expandability to fit a few things you pick up along the way sometimes.

Perfect size for my 13” MBP. I’ve added a tech pouch for all my loose item. Result is a perfectly organised travel companion. I wish I had made this purchase years ago.

I bought my first V1 messenger in 2017. My only complaint was the annoying sound coming from the metal connector between the strap and the body. The strap later ruptured and Peak Design gladly replaced it with a newer version. I think it is V1.5 but I am not sure. Definitely, it is not the V2. However, the replacement bag has also eventually showed this annoying, squeaking sound while I walk. I tried applying a little silicone lubricant but the sound is still there.

I am able to pack everything I need for work, including my lunch. I like the option to attach the capture clip as well!
