If you're lucky enough to own a Fujifilm X100VI, you know it's more than just a camera – it's a creative companion that begs to be taken everywhere. That's exactly why we designed the Legacy Mini Sling: to be the perfect home for your X100VI while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic that Fuji shooters love.

Why the X100VI Deserves Better Than a Generic Bag

The Fujifilm X100VI isn't your average camera. With its rangefinder-inspired design, fixed 23mm lens, and film simulation magic, it's a camera that attracts photographers who value both form and function. It deserves a bag that matches its philosophy – compact, stylish, and purposefully designed.

The Legacy Mini Sling isn't just another camera bag; it's specifically crafted with cameras like the X100VI in mind. At just 10.5" x 5" x 3.5", it's perfectly proportioned for compact rangefinder-style cameras without the bulk of traditional camera bags that were designed for DSLRs.

Tailored Fit for the X100 Series

The removable and adjustable padded camera cube inside the Legacy Mini Sling seems almost custom-made for the X100VI. Your camera sits snugly protected, with just enough room for the slight protrusion of the lens, keeping everything secure without unnecessary bulk.

  • Perfect fit for X100VI, X100V, X100F, and earlier models
  • Padded dividers protect your investment
  • Quick access design for street photography
  • Room for spare battery and SD cards

Premium Materials That Age Like Your Photography Skills

Crafted with full-grain matte leather that develops a unique patina over time, the Legacy Mini Sling tells your photography story. The Onyx Black option pairs beautifully with the classic silver X100VI, while the Cognac Tan complements the camera's vintage aesthetic perfectly.

Backed with waxed cotton canvas, each bag is not just durable but also water-resistant – because we know street photography doesn't stop for a little rain. This combination of materials ensures your bag ages gracefully alongside your creative journey.

1

Two-Way Accessibility

Large main pocket with two-way zippers means you can access your X100VI from either side – perfect for both left and right-handed shooters.

2

Hidden Security

Two hidden inner-facing micro-pockets are perfect for AirTags or emergency cash – track your gear or stash your coffee money.

3

Versatile Carry

Adjustable strap with easy side release buckle allows wearing as a cross-body or belt bag – adapt to your shooting style.

Beyond the X100VI: A Versatile Companion

While we're focusing on the X100VI, the Legacy Mini Sling is equally perfect for other compact cameras. The Fujifilm X-E5 or X-E4 with pancake lenses (like the XF27mm f/2.8 or XF18mm f/2), Ricoh GR III, Sony RX100 series, or even film point-and-shoots all find a perfect home here.

Real-World Use: A Day in the Life

Picture this: You're heading out for a day of street photography. Your X100VI sits securely in the main compartment, protected by the customizable camera cube. In the front pocket, you've got your phone and keys. The hidden pockets hold an AirTag and some cash for that inevitable coffee stop.

The bag sits comfortably across your body, not screaming "expensive camera here" but looking like a stylish everyday bag. When you spot that perfect moment, the two-way zipper lets you quickly access your camera without fully opening the bag. This is the Legacy Mini Sling in its element – unobtrusive, accessible, and always ready.

Three Ways to Wear, Endless Possibilities

The Legacy Mini Sling adapts to your shooting style and situation. Whether you're navigating crowded streets, hiking to that perfect viewpoint, or just want quick access to your camera, there's a carry style that works.

  • Cross-body carry: Classic street photography style for all-day comfort
  • Front carry: Keep your camera secure in crowds while maintaining quick access
  • Belt bag style: Perfect for active shooting or when paired with a backpack

The adjustable strap with easy side-release buckle makes switching between styles seamless – adapt on the fly as your day unfolds.

From X100VI to Leica M6: Realistic Capacity Guide

While we've been focusing on the X100VI as the perfect match, the Legacy Mini Sling has been designed for true minimalist setups. The Leica M6 with a compact lens represents the absolute largest camera we recommend – anything bigger and you'll want to consider the Legacy 2L.

What Actually Fits Inside

The Legacy Mini is designed for minimalist setups – perfect for photographers who embrace the "one camera, one lens" philosophy or need a compact EDC solution. Here are real-world configurations that work perfectly:

  • X100VI Setup: Camera + spare battery + SD cards + lens cloth
  • X-E5 with Pancake: X-E5 with 27mm f/2.8 + one spare lens in divider
  • Leica M6: Body with compact 35mm or 40mm lens (largest recommended)
  • Ricoh GR III + iPhone: Camera + phone + Moment lens attachments
  • Mobile Creator: iPhone with Moment gear, Quicklock mount + accessories
  • EDC Mode: Phone, wallet, keys, AirPods, and daily essentials

Need More Space? Meet the Legacy Camera Sling 2L

While the Legacy Mini is perfect for single-camera minimalist setups, we understand some photographers need a bit more room. That's where the Legacy Camera Sling 2L comes in.

When to Choose the 2L Version

The Legacy 2L maintains the same premium materials and craftsmanship but offers expanded capacity for photographers who need:

  • Space for multiple compact cameras (X100VI + Ricoh GR III)
  • Room for slightly larger setups (X-T5 with small prime)
  • Extra lens storage for X-E or X-Pro series
  • Additional accessories like external flash or filters
  • iPad Mini or small tablet alongside camera gear

Both bags share the same DNA – premium leather, thoughtful design, lifetime warranty – just choose based on your carry needs.

The Perfect Pairing: Heritage Camera Strap

For X100VI shooters who want the complete premium experience, we've created the perfect companion piece: the Heritage Camera Strap. Made from the same naturally processed, wax-finished leather as the Legacy Mini Sling, it's designed to patina and age alongside your bag.

Why They Work So Well Together

The Heritage Strap isn't just about matching materials – it's about completing your photography kit with intentional design. Both pieces share the same philosophy: premium materials, minimalist aesthetics, and functionality that doesn't compromise on style.

  • Same wax-finished leather develops matching patina over time
  • Available in both 28" and 38" lengths for your preferred carry style
  • Split-ring compatible design perfect for X100 series cameras
  • Microfiber suede backing matches the Legacy Mini's interior

The Perfect Match for Film Simulation Lovers

If you bought the X100VI for its incredible film simulations and JPEG capabilities, you understand the importance of getting things right in-camera. The Legacy Mini Sling shares this philosophy – it's designed to be perfect from day one, no modifications needed.

Just like how the X100VI's fixed lens forces creative constraint that leads to better photography, the Legacy Mini's compact size encourages you to be intentional about what you carry. One camera, maybe a spare battery and SD card, and you're ready to create.

Investment Protection Meets Style

Your X100VI is an investment – not just financially, but in your creative vision. The Legacy Mini Sling protects that investment without compromising the very reason you bought the camera: its portability and discretion.

Unlike bulky camera backpacks that announce your gear to the world, or flimsy pouches that offer minimal protection, the Legacy Mini strikes the perfect balance. It's protective enough for daily use and travel, yet refined enough to take to a nice dinner or gallery opening.
