Yes, the M6 and 21, 24, 35, and 50 Summicron, Summilux, and Elmars fit very nicely in the case (not all at once!). The only 90s that would fit are the Tele Elmarit, CL/E versions, and older Elmars. The Contax G-90 is shorter than the current Leica 90s. With a very compact flash, it makes a nice kit. The G2 bag is larger and probably more practical, but I find myself carrying the G1 bag all the time. It is a little slow if you are on assignment, however, and a bit noisey due to large velcro (tm) strap in the lower front. I use Billingham Hadleys for most reportage assignments. Will von Dauster
