It's the biggest bag i've ever put my Leicas in I can carry my full system in a handy way. IN otherwords if the 135 was on the camera the camera could be put lens down into the bag with the camera on it with NO room to spare. As the bag is just canvas it is squishable and you don't feel like you are reaching down to the bottom of a tall bag to grab short objects like most Leica lenses. But Domke as some many incremental variations that if this bag was not right for you they have one just a tad bigger and one that I have which is about the same size but with no side pockets which works well too for a smaller operation the f6 which is 12L x 6W x 7"D. The F-3X is 8.5L x 5.5W x 9"D. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
