Hi Andrei. Thanks for the content you create, it's been super helpful for someone that just got into Fujifilm. Oddly enough, I'm looking for a discrete camera bag/sling that doesn't scream "I have load of money here" and this looks perfect. Quick question about size. I currently have and X-T5 and the 16-50mm kit lense. I'll likely get a prime soon, possibly the 35m. Would the 4L be big enough for both, and a couple of batteries and maybe a power bank, or from your experience, would that be a little too snug and I'd be better off with the 6L? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

It’s weird that Fuji left the original 23 1.4 off the list of supported 40mp lenses when that lens is quite a bit sharper than f2 WR. The f2 wr is great and so is the new 23mm f1.4 but the original 23mm 1.4 had the focus clutch that is a huge plus for me.

I popped a Russian turret viewfinder on mine (The optics on those are as clear as new glass) to jazz it up, and to use on bright days. All you really need is the 16-50 3.5 V.2 lens to keep the package small, light, but flexible. That lens improves in speed on later bodies, has a center sharpness as good as anything you have, and if you shoot square format, it's now perfect. Save your other lenses, vintage, or Fuji prime for the IBIS bodies. But don't forget, the 16-50 has IBIS. Just be sure to get V.2. Manual instead? The focus assist color options aren't as good as later models. Everybody usually uses the Fuji red color focus assist. Not available. You can use the back function button and some menu #4 to get the image zoomed in to help your focus, but I haven't put a manual lens on mine to tell you exactly how.
