One suggestion: when you get a bag for your M6 and 3 lenses, see if you can get one a bit larger that will hold a second M body (you will almost certainly acquire one) and perhaps a 21 or 24mm lens. Your photo shops in London might have a used leather bag made by Walter Benser; it can be got with inserts to hold various cameras, lenses and other stuff. My small Benser bag (outside dimensions: 4-1/2"x 7" x 8-1/2") holds two M camera bodies, 35 and 50 Summicrons, 90 Elmarit, 21/3,4 Super-Angulon and the slender 135/4 Elmar from the late 1950's, early 1960's. Most LUGGERS will say you should get a strong Cordura or canvas bag in whatever size suits you and they are probably right. I've got both and the Benser is the most compact outfit for what it will carry and what it will do. But for sure, consider a bag that will carry an extra M body.
