It is made of ballistic nylon, and comes in two sizes. If you have the discipline to limit yourself to the kit you've described, the smaller might work. I have an R8 with winder, and typically carry it in the large Combination bag with a 19/24/50 mounted, and the other two back-to-back with one of those two-rear-caps-glued-together sort of gizmos, along with the 100, the f4 35-70, and the 80-200. There is ample room for film an SF-20, and one or two of those hama film safe containers. Side pockets carry more film and batteries, as R8 folks don't leave home without spare batteries. Come to think of it, R8 folks don't do anything without batteries! Anyway, it is a fine bag, shows signs of lasting for years, and with some velcro edged partitions from abandoned bags, and a little extra strategically placed foam pieces, it's a terrific bag. It is made in the US, so I wonder about its availability from its maker at something less than the price imparted by its little, unobtrusive Leica logo. Worth checking out. Damned good bag. Enjoy the light. Greg
