It can take a camera, three lenses (small), ball head, and a roll of film. But it is well padded. It is also well zippered and will protect you against the elements better than other bags. However, this bag is not as small as some of the Billingham pouches, which will take an M6 with a lens, an extra lens, some film, and lens cleaning cloth. This is as much as I want to carry. On long trips, every ounce is important. I also like the small pouches, because I can carry them on my shoulder under a coat. Chris > >> >Billingham makes a small pouch.
