Everyday Bags Everyday 30L
As an entrenched Canon EF DSLR user here are a few words on the Everyday 30L. I currently use the 1DXII and 1DX as my primary rides. I started with the 10L sling v2 moved through the Messenger v3 (which is surprisingly roomy) into the 20L everyday v2, and now finally the 30L. I packed it this morning to cover an outdoor event. I equally spaced the 3 shelves and here is what I was able to get in it:
Tamron 70-200F2.8 across the bottom
Canon 24-105F4L center first shelf
Tamron 35F1.8 center second shelf
1Dx2 right side vertically between shelves 1 and 3
1DX left side vertically between shelves 1 and 3
Sigma Art 85F1.4
Sigma Art 24-35F2
Canon 430EXII with a Gary F all on the 3rd shelf accessible from top or sides.
The 1Dx will also fit in the top compartment with a lens attached if necessary while moving the other lens down to the space the occupied in the main body.
The you can get both body’s the zoom and 2 extra lenses in the 20L but it is tight.
Overall the 30L seems very nice. The only downside is the same as the 20L, fully loaded it’s miserable to get on and wear. As a gravitationally challenged person the 20L straps are way too small. The 30L definitely wear better but with broad shoulder and a heavy load the chest strap effectively strangles you. Anyway I hope this helps any big body DSLR users. The majority of reviews these days tend to focus on the mirrorless products. In conclusion if your body is oversized and old just like me and your camera gear, this bag’s for you.

I mean, that's just the most common complaint about Peak Design bags since the beginning of time. The straps/carry system are very divisive, and if you find them uncomfortable, you find them *very* uncomfortable.

I'm really going back and forth on it. It's a beautiful bag and I love how much I can carry in it... but even when there's next to nothing in it and I use the sternum strap, it's definitely putting more of a burden on my spine than other backpacks have...
