Subject: [Leica] simple pouch recommendation for M body, one lens
From: locke at straylight.ca (Greg Locke)

The LowePro Photo runner was my choice for when it was the best idea to have
the camera around my neck or on the shoulder.

Top loading belt pouch worn in the front.

...and if you didn't mind a little "rash" on your gear you can toss in an M6
with a 90 Summicron and a minotlat meter.
