     Roger,
     
     
     how do you like the snap arrangement of the pouch to the Celia? I use 
     M6 pouches (2), plus film pouch, on either Bee or Bumblebee bags. 
     
     I worry about the loaded M6 pouches,. The bottom popper is unreliable, 
     and the funky little velcro straps are worse than useless (they get in 
     the way.) What's your experience with the pouches used this way?
     
     The film pouch is OK mounted this way, or velcroed around the shoulder 
     strap, due to the lighter weight. I wouldn't trust a loaded M6 pouch 
     to stay securely velcroed around the shoulder strap, though.
     
     The concept is great, take the Bee or Bumblebee + pouches attached for 
     a medium trip, and then you have the flexibility of going lighter but 
     still protected (sounds like a condom advert) if necessary. I 
     frequently do this, with 3 or 4 M6's, 50 Noctilux &/or summicron  , 
     35/1.4 ASPH &/or summicron, 75/1.4,90/2,28/2.8, plus lots and lots and 
     lots and lots of film...I can even squeeze an F2 + 180/2.8 or 24/2 
     into this setup if I sacrifice one M6 body,the noctilux, 35 ASPH, and 
     75/1.4.


Comments, fellow lugnuts?

Alistair

I'm chuckling, Alsitair, because I have exactly the same 
arrangement and when I want to unsnap the M6 Pouch from the Celia 
III, the problem exists. First and foremost, the 35/2.0 Summicron M 
is rather flare prone IF, like me, you shoot into a lot of sun. I 
sold it and bought the ASPH to get away from that problem. I can 
not speak on the original ASPHERIC, never having owned it, but the 
ASPH is an order of magnitude better in flare than the 35 
Summicron, IMO. Haven't solved the problem of the ungainly hood 
when carrying only the M6 Pouch, except to stick in in my pocket 
and then take the time necessary to affix it if the upcoming 
photography is to be flare prone.
     
I'll not be acceptable to "Gentleman's Quarterly", however, 
traipsing around in tight Sans-a-Belt slacks with that stupid hood 
protruding from the side pocket of my slacks. Also, AZ heat 
precludes leaving the M6 Pouch home and wearing a photo vest.
     
My wife wonders what I'd do if I had a real problem to worry about.
