Subject: Re: [Leica] SV: Leica M6 Camera bag

The Alice has three compartments. Front end I have an M6 Rapidwinder+35/2
(packed with body side down). In the middle I have 21/3,4+90/2,8 mm lenses
(back to back), and at the far end another M6 with 50/2 (packed side down).
This is possible thanks to the compact 35/2 asph and the 50/2 with
integrated lens hood.
When I choose lenses, I always go for the compact variants. I seldom need a
faster lens than F/2,0.

Regards, Hans



Hans,
I also have the Alice bag for my M6 and I love it. But I have never
figured out how to put 2 bodies and four lenses in it. How do you put
all this stuff in there, Hans?

All the best,  Stefan
