Re: [Leica] Camera Bag for an amateur photographer with M6's

Hi, Dale
The F2 is way too big unless you want to carry your clothes, too.

I have an f3x domke, it'll carry two Nikons, three or four lenses,
and I can hide an M in there too!!  The F3x bag could EASILY carry 
FOUR M cameras, each with lens, and THEN a flash, extra lens, filters,
half dozen extra rolls, etc......

I like my Domke, but it's got my Nikons and lenses in it now.  I can 
remove a Nikon and add an M plus couple lenses, if need be.  I have a 
smaller Lowe pro (no longer made, but they have lots of newer ones) for 
two Ms, three or four lenses (two back to back) and meter, tiny flash 
and half dozen rolls.  It's about 2/3 the size of the SMALL domke, 
or less than half the size of the Domke F2.

IF you use motors on Ms, and 135 2.8, etc, you "might" want an 
F2 bag, but you'd also be able to fit your lunch and a water bottle. 
if that's what you desire!!

Good luck, 
WAlt
