Peak Design Shell Small Form-Fitting Reviews

Medium is best for the OM-1

By Benjamin
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2023-03-18

My opinions of shell fit for my mirrorless Olympus (OM Systems) OM-1: For the OM-1 with the 12-40mm Pro f2.8, the small fits and can cinch be cinched around the lens. But the zoom ring is close to the base of the lens and can not be used with the shell on, so I have to pull shell off to zoom. The medium fits just as well, and since I have to pull shell off anyway to zoom, the extra fabric is irrelevant and there is no need to cinch around the lens. For the OM-1 with a prime lens smaller than 75mm, the small is too big to use if you want to cinch the shell around the lens. If you want to just use as a cover while hiking and pull cover off to use, then small is fine. Both a small and medium will cinch around the 75mm prime, so both work fine for the 75mm. For the OM-1 with the 40-150 Pro f2.8, the small does not full cover the lens. The medium fits perfect, and the zoom ring can still be used with the shell cinched. The zoom ring is closer to the end of the lens than the 12-40mm, so the slack in the medium shell fabric still allows the ring to be turned. Due to the limited fit and usefulness of the small shell, I recommend the MEDIUM for the OM-1.

The Camera Shoftshell! The perfect Product!

Peak design creates each time the right product unavailable on the market for your camera. I will call this product the camera sohftshell not waterproof but good enough to protect your camera and take photos without having to take it out of your bag and put it back. I carry my camera with a shoulder strap, the camera is protected and I can take photos much faster. I use this product for outdoors, ski touring, rock-alpine-ice climbing, hiking! I bought the small size for a duji XT-30, with 10-24 mm lenses, it fits perfectly! Maybye they will release one day a Hardshell version for photographs looking for a rainproof cover! Thanks Peak Design! Big fan of the brand!

Bought this for a trip to Alaska to photograph auroras. It should help to keep my kit dry and cozy

Not for small mirrorless cameras

The small size is recommended for mirrorless cameras, but unless you have a very large lens, there is far too much fabric for this to be usable. Otherwise, great product, quality, I could see how this would be a great piece of gear.

quality on point, weird design

Quality is top tear as always with PD, very waterpoof and abrasion resistant. even slightly cushioned. unfortunately however, it is just not that practical with the lack of a hole for the view finder. yes, you can put this on your camera, clip it on your PD capture and walk through a monsoon with at most only slight moisture gathering around the bottom where the capture attaches, i know because of a 10+ hour hike i did in the pouring rain with this on my hip. loved this about it. but if you want to take pictures in the rain, this is a no go and that is what i wanted to do with it. also, i do not recommend using this with a zoom lens of course, you will not be able to zoom with it on. i just wish there was some sort of opening for the back of the camera, even if it only opens enough for the view finder. instead of this product, either get a clear disposable cover, or invest in a weather sealed camera and lens... which is what i ended up doing.

Not this

Everything I own is PD, cases, tripod, straps etc. But this has never worked for me. Will it stop me from buying more PD stuff? Absolutely not, but if you're on the fence about this, I say skip.

I have the medium for the Z7, and that's about snug. So probably think small is too small

Small will be your best bet for that setup! Might be a bit loose given the smaller camera body and lens, though there is an adjustment feature to pull in loose fabric to tighten it up.
