I get to tell you about a cool bag I'm using: the Eagle Creek Protect-It Excursion bag. http://www.eaglecreek.com/40176.html . Well padded, water resistant nylon, it'll hold an M with 50mm or shorter lenses sans hood. Wide enough to put a second lens and/or a meter on the other side of the divider. A quiet zipper opens the main compartment. Velcro and straps-with-snaps closes the front flap, under which film and stuff can be stuffed. The nice, padded shoulder strap has plastic clips and eyelets that squeak a little, but they haven't worn after a summer and fall of daily use. Stow that and pull out the waist strap and you have a very comfortable pack. I use it that way when cycling. To me, a bag like this fits the Leica use profile: grab it and go, carry everywhere without encumbrance. It looks plain enough to not attract attention, but good enough to ware with a suit. $50 at EMS or other outdoorsy joints.
