The F5XB is a very attractive bag, but that damn top zipper and massive Velcro makes it painful to use.
A new F10 works much better for my medium-sized Pentax 35mm SLR body w/lens + 2 additional lens outfit.
My F6 is way too big for the same kit. It's overkill even for my Nikon F2 Photomic w/lens + 2 additional lens kit.
As an update I've solved my problem in an unusual way by adjusting the kit to fit in the small Domke I already have ... F5-XB.
With one divider in the bag I can carry the SD1 body with the 50mm f1.4 fitted facing upwards because that lens is fairly short ... in the remaining space on the left the 18-35mm f1.8 that arrived today from B&H fits perfectly.
Voila ... I have the wonderful SD1M with two lenses. One that covers me from 27mm to 52mm (corrected) for the f1.8 zoom ... and the 50mm f1.4 prime (75mm corrected) for portraits. That's a lot of potential photographically for something that fits in the little Domke. I think I'm a happy camper as they say! 🙂
