They work wonderfully well. I can carry two bodies and three lenses (35,50,90)
plus film and meter and filters. For travel I store the bodies with lenses off,
lenses in their cases. There's room for tickets/passport in the big back pocket.
I'd even  have room for another wider lens. That V. 15mm looks attractive to me.

I'm completely sold on this bag. But for an SLR it just doesn't work at all.

This is the reason I want a digital M - size. None of those vast SLR lenses.
Even the Noct. which is huge by M standards is rather ordinary for the SLR
world.

The 803 might also work with an R8 and a single zoom like the new one that's
like 28 to 90 f2.8/4.5  That's a very attractive lens for me. For travelling
with an R that would solve a lot of problems. And it's fast enough.
