I have the brown leather Brixton, and yes it will easily fit two Z6 or even two Z8 size cameras both with a 35 and 50 prime attached. You could get away with a 24-70 f2.8 or 24-120 f4 mounted on camera as well. That said, the leather version is pretty heavy, and the strap's design doesn't help distribute the weight of the bag very well. If you're planning on walking around a lot with it, I would either go with the waxed canvas version or another bag. In my experience, the Brixton works best if you want to carry a small laptop or tablet, plus a camera + lens, notebook and such. It's at that size where where fully loaded with camera gear, a backpack would make a lot more sense.
Thank you so much. I read about the weight of the leather bag elsewhere- it seems like canvas is the way to go. I have used Thinktank and Peak Design bags and find the shoulder straps well-padded with good weight distribution so will have to give that issue some thought on the Brixton. Appreciate you taking the time to help.

Yeah, the leather one definitely sacrifices a bit of function for looks, but it is a gorgeous bag. I use it for client meetings, and I get a lot of compliments on it. When I want to go light, I prefer my Ona Bowery bag in grey waxed canvas. Have had it for 7-8 years I think and it still looks great, and works for when you just want to bring one camera and a couple lenses, plus smartphone and small powerbank, and doesn't scream camera bag.
