I tried an M3 and an M4-p with the 75 Summilux and the Noctilux mounted. They're *big* lenses and it was tight. I threw the thing in the washing machine. While it was still damp, I placed the M3 w. Noctilux on one side, lens forward. The M4-P w/ Summilux mounted, I placed lens down in the center compartment. The 35/1.4, I placed in the 75 Summilux case on the other side. I loaded the light meter, 6 film cannisters, and Lens Pen, and let the thing dry over night. There's enough stretch in the canvas that the bag conformed to its load. I am delighted. It's a small, unobstrusive bag, easy on the shoulder, and capacious w/n reason. I had a G2 with the 21 Biogon over my shoulder. I don't ordinarily tote three bodies and four lenses, but I was curious. I was also impressed by how easy it was to manage the whole business. For what it's worth, I *highly* recommend the Camera Satchel. I paid something like USD 79.00 at B& H, and I think that's a steal for an M system bag. I like the Billingham a lot, but it's posh and people do notice it. The Domke in sand canvas looks a bit like Army surplus--which it to say: it's invisible.
