I'm looking for the perfect bag to take on trips to carry my camera. It has to be a small cross body bag, just big enough for the camera (mirrorless Fuji) and a few small items. AND it must have a strap long enough to accommodate my almost 6 foot frame.

Can anyone tell me the length of the straps on the Sologne and on the Menilmontant PM? Thanks so much

The only problem with the odeon and Bloomsbury (both of which I love) is that they are deep bags. I want to be able to easily reach the camera, not dig for it. Thanks for your idea though

Hi I just purchased the Sologne in mono and absolutely love it. I am 5'10 and the bag falls justbright at my hip with the strap on the third ring. It can hold my ZO, ZCW and eyeglass case. Perhaps your camera may fit but with a smaller wallet. I will add pics; hope this helps.

I can fit my ZO, ZCW and eyeglass case so perhaps your camerea may fit as well but with a smaller wallet. Here are some pics; hope this helps. Good luck.

Great design … I like that it has a shoulder guard …wish they produced this in leather…sad that some of the older designs are forgotten.

I also have the Sologne and I absolutely love it! :hbeat:

It is so functional and the cross body strap is such an advantage if you are out because you don't have to carry it.

I only wish that it actually fit my sunglasses case! However, if I really need them I will just leave it in the car and wear the glasses on my head lol. :sunnies

Gm bombed. The Sologne is a workhorse and such a beautifully made bag. I get so many compliments and not many people have it! :smile:

Thanks so much. Your pics and info are very, very helpful. I'm really leaning toward this bag, and will probably get it before my summer travel starts
