This was the old OM 180/2.8 which looks huge... at least until this 
past year where I have been shooting events with mainly the "bigger 
than my forearm" ZD 35-100/F2 lens. That 180/2.8 feels so light and 
petite now. I think the 35-100's lens cap is bigger than the M camera 
:-) (OK, I exaggerate)

Right now I just put the camera in the backpack, but of course I am 
looking for that photographers' dream bag - you know, the one that 
makes you buy a new bag every year thinking this is it, and only to 
realize that you did buy that bag already 7 years ago....
