I purchased about 3 months ago for my new M6. I bought the bag based on printed and WWW information, I never was able to see the bag prior to buying it. I love the bag and it is very easy to work out of but I am finding it a bit too big for my modest (and unlikely to expand) M "system" (M6 35/2 50/2 90/2.8T-E). On a recent trip I found a more compact but much less elegant Tamrac bag that overall fits my needs better (I use a coupling ring for the 2 lenses not on the camera and carry no flash so I am not really carrying much). The Alice bag is about the size of a Domke F6 "A Little Bit Smaller Bag". The Alice bag could hold my setup and perhaps one other M body and small lens and/or small flash. I bought it when there was a rebate on these bags ( the list price appears to be about $190 - $195) and am reflecting that in my asking price of $125. I will also pay UPS shipping to the cont. US. The bag looks essentially new with no visible marks or stains on the fabric. The leather locking straps have a bit of usual wear from opening and closing the bag. I would like to keep the bag but my wife was with me when I bought the Tamrac case and asked why.......("you already have several camera bags, cameras, etc.). To make a quick peace I told her that if I was sure I would not use it much I would try to sell it. e-mail / call if interested (and kind of hoping no one is) Robert Ardinger rardinge@kumc.edu rardinge@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (913)236-5843(H) (Kansas City Area)
