Mine will comfortably accommodate two Contax Gs with short lenses mounted, an M-4P with a short lens mounted, a couple of long lenses (75 and 90), the miniature Contax flash, lots of film, and the misc. stuff that one carries in a bag. I think you'd be stretching it with the load you describe below and might want to consider the larger bag. In every other respects, it's a nice piece of work. The one or two comments that it's drawn assume that it's some sort of attache case.
