I used the Billingham Alice bag for my large load of two M's, six lenses, etc. For my light load of one M and a couple of lenses, I had a VF Reporter "Must" bag. These bags are very nice, all Nappa leather with a divider and front pocket. The bag resembles a "male purse" and doesn't really look like a camera bag. Internally, the divided compartment can accommodate an M with lens mounted on one side and the other a lens or two with back to back coupler. The bag is lined with a soft nap cloth, which the Velcro from the divider attaches to. The bag is not too heavily padded, just enough to protect the camera. The top flap is secured with Velcro. Altogether, a very neat solution to traveling light with an M. They are not too well known in the US and they are distributed by Panodia. I have a new one (black) for sale for $175 USD, including shipping in the US. Bill Rosauer
