Ape CaseSmall SLR Holster Camera Bag

I will say up front I am a hobby photographer - my biggest concerns are having a small, compact, lightweight kit that I will actually take with me and use. My camera is an Olympus OMD em5 mark 3. The bag is the small and I bought it to have a ‘take only what you need’ companion to my primary bag (photo for size comparison) for hiking or other travel and also some volunteer work that I do. I have no interest in taking a million lenses or extra things or heavy things or my best expensive things for these types of adventures. So, saying all of that I am actually able to fit quite a bit in here - aided by the fact that in general Olympus gear is very compact. Pictured here I have fit a 40-150mm zoom lens with the hood inverted and stored in a well cushioned athletic sock, my camera body with a 14-42mm ez pancake lens attached and an ultra pod tripod. Additionally there are small pockets for extra batteries or cards etc. the rain cover works well. I do wish the strap was a little bit longer - it isn’t quite long enough to be a comfortable cross body for me personally (not the end of the world). It is well padded and everything feels very protected and secure yet is still really accessible. Will easily fit in a backpack or other luggage. At my level which is really just ‘having fun’ I will never need more than (and will never want to carry more than this around) for a casual day out or back country adventure. I’m very happy with this choice.

Love this case. Ordered it from Holland because I wanted something to fit my Canon Sl1 / 100D with a Canon 50mm STM lens. It all fits.Pro's:- Rain cover- Simple design- Yellow inside for extra visibility- No-nonsense design- Great fit for my small camera- Sturdy, offers protection, also against vertical pressure (it's especially sturdy when the camera is inside because that reinforces the structural strength of the outer walls of the bag because they cannot fold inwards)- Very affordableCons: (more like design feedback based on my personal preferences)- Rain cover leaves a small part of the bag uncovered - the part where you could attach it to your belt, at the back of the bag. Not a real problem but just to give an impression of rain-cover-coverage.- Zipper can feel a bit counter-intuitive because it goes horizontally while you want to remove your camera vertically. This is a personal preference. I would have loved velcro to take out your camera as easily as possible. Of course, this would go at the expense of protection from sand, dust and perhaps fluids.- Front pouch can be a bit hard to acces because of vertical zipper. I'm not sure why it has this construction: in order to acces the left side of the pouch you need to go in with your fingers and pry stuff away from there.- The yellow fabric inside has logos stamped on it in a slightly different yellow color. The logo is hard to make out and at a glance looks like there are accidental stains or differences in pigmentation. It's not beautiful and does not get the ape case logo across.The cons are tiny in comparison to the pro's and I love this case, and give it 5 stars for the combination of price, functionality (rain cover!) and sturdiness and simplicity. You can see a lot of thought has gone into this quality product (I'm a product designer myself and as such a appreciate this :-) I'm in no way affiliated with ape case). Buy this if it fits your camera!

It's decent, very snug holster really. I didn't know much about cameras or bags really, so my lack of knowledge probably didn't help. I bought this for my Sony A6000, and it fits snug with a 16-50mm lens fitted, however wont fit much else in as well, certainly not a second lense. Which you could figure out from the measurements, it was just a bit tighter than I'd hoped, so it's on me really. Otherwise, great little case.

This is a fantastic, small, light bag. Exactly what I was going for. I was searching for a lightweight camera bag to use for hiking and backpacking and have been extremely pleased with this purchase. This bag will hold my A6000, 16-50 kit lens and 55-210 zoom, or the 55-210 and either a Sigma 30mm or Sigma 19mm. In addition, it will also fit a spare battery, a few filters, and a cleaning cloth. It can get a little tight, but there is enough stretch and padding that everything fits well. I also purchased the Ape Case ACLC10 lens case to carry the 55-210 so I can carry three lenses at the same time.The materials are durable and the weather cover did its job well in moderate rain. I put the entire case in my backpack for extra protection during more significant rain events so can't comment on how well it would have protected in heavy rain.The shoulder strap works well and is comfortable when I carry it for uses other than hiking.The only downside is the belt loop was useless as the balance was off with the camera in it. The loop is too low so the bag wants to tip forward. However, I fashioned an attachment using some para cord around my pack and a couple of aluminum carabiners so I can carry it in front of my backpack's belt buckle.I like it so much that I will purchase the larger one for when I want to take my larger lenses with me. Great piece of kit.***UPDATE 01/18/2018***I still use this case for all of my hiking and backpacking with my A6000. It will also fit the Sony Zeiss SEL1670z with the hood and camera attached. It can also fir the A7ii with a small prime on it (manual Takumar 50 f1.4, or 28 f 3.5 type lenses), but I have to step up to the medium size to fit any larger lenses with the A7ii.

With a little pocket in the front for an extra battery and 2 small pockets inside for extra SD cards. My camera fits nice and snug, and there’s room for a tiny tripod. Very happy with this purchase as I don’t want to lug my big camera bag all the time.

No he probado la durabilidad y la cubierta de lluvia pero parece de buena calidad, caba justo mi Canon T6 con el lente kit de 18-55 pero nada mas

I like everything about this case except for the fact that it won't store my 72mm dia lens filter.I have an Olympus OMD E-5 mk 2 camera with a large 12-200mm zoom lens. The small bag is sufficient to stow my camera in and it fits snugly, despite the large filter. However the external pocket on this holster is not large enough to stow any alternative 72mm filter.In every other way this case suits all my needs, but I think that for my gear combination the larger size would have been a better buy.The fit for my camera is snug and provides good mechanical protection for camera and lens, and I also like the fact that it makes my weather resistant camera even safer, due to its rain cover which is folded into its own external pocket, when not in use.

Nice awesome product , great value of money. Made with good material , light weight...

Great case. Love the rain cover as I live on the west coast of BC. I wish I had got the bigger case (acpro625 or 650) because this one wont accommodate any kind of zoom lens. It does fit my camera great though (Nikon d3400 with 18-55mm kit lens). keeps the camera nice and easy to access and can accommodate a fairly large belt as I put it on the waist strap of my backpack.
