A note on the Billingham:

I currently use their Series 3 bag for my M6, 35mm and 90mm lenses, some
film, a light meter, and cable release, lens brush, etc.  It is a TIGHT
fit, and you can't keep the 90mm on the body due to the divider design.

The pros are that it is small, has a waterproof backing on the cloth,
and doesn't really look camera-baggish to me.  However, they are very
expensive here in the U.S.  (~$200).  They are about ~$105 in England
after the VAT rebate, so if you know anyone in London, send them to
Jessops on New Oxford Street.
