When I’m out on a photo walk or out on a photoshoot, it's really nice to have a light load on me. The last thing I want to do is have either too much on me or have a heavy load. A camera-designed sling is perfect for these situations. I’ve been using the Long Weekend Santa Fe Shoulder Bag since September, and it's been so handy. I take on every walk I do now. The sling is a 2-liter bag, so it fits everything I need. From my Fujifilm 16-55mm F/2.8, filters, moment lens, batteries, earbuds, gum, keys, wallet, and more! It's pretty impressive.
Inspired by long road trips and shooting film, this is the shoulder bag we’ve always wanted to make. With the perfect blend of size and organization, it’s designed to carry everything you need and not...

I not only have less stress on myself but also can cover more ground, and not only does it hold what I need, but it matches my personality and fits my style as well. I’m a pretty default-type person (I prefer black clothes). So, the black Santa Fe shoulder bag is perfect for me. If the black-colored sling isn’t for you, then there is the iconic creme-multi and the comic purple colorways! I wish I were able to pull those off. My personal experience with the sling has been nothing but positive. I wish I could share some things I don’t like about it, but it’s hard to find flaws.
Being able to zip open the sling and switch lenses quickly helps out a lot when out on the street for photo walks or shoots. Being around the Bay Area, it’s important not to stick out with your gear because you risk becoming a target. Before the sling, I would walk around with a backpack, which was not the smartest thing to do. Now, after walking around the shoulder bag, I feel less stressed, and I can cover more ground while getting more done.
I think this is an item every photographer should have in their loadout. As I said in the beginning, I love to carry light. It's good for your health and efficiency, and it helps you blend in while looking stylish. If you are thinking about getting this bag for a friend or loved one, just be sure to stick a few Moment Lenses in there for the mobile creator or a few extra stocks of Kodak Portra 400 for those film lovers. You can never go wrong with more film, trust me.
