With only the modest ingenuity I posses I have it rigged for an M body with 50mm lens, 90mm 2.0 (beast that it is), 35mm, 28mm, zoomy new polarizer (takes lots of room), cable release, brush, assorted filters, and four rolls of film. Without the polarizer, you can carry all that plus another M body. It's not very large and given all the straps and things you can carry it about forty-eleven different ways. Might have been $100 but I don't think so.

Very durable, well made, leather trimmings, and waterproof to boot. Cost me $65 in a small high-end camera shop in Annecy, France. BTW, they had a very nice Leica section with all kinds of R and M equipment, new and used. Another bag I love is the Lowepro Sideline Shooter. It is shaped like a narrow half-moon, and holds an M with any lens mounted, as well as 2-3 more lenses, light meter, and plenty of film. No shoulder strap, though, and the belt is not detachable, AND its not waterproof. Very ergonomic though, and works well on the waist while working. About $60.
