Amazingly enough, I can accomodate all of the above!  I bought a black
canvas map-bag/case from the Mass. Army & Navy Store.  I keep an M3 with
50mm DR-Summicron + hood, an M2 with Rapidwinder + 35mm Summicron + hood, a
spare 90mm Tele-Elmarit with caps and hood, plus the eyes for the 50 Summi,
a little cleaning equipment, two extra rolls of film in canisters, and a
good book (paperback ;) for when I want a break from photography.

I think I paid $12 for it (minus contents ;).  I bought an expensive $15
padded strap that lets me carry the thing for a whole day without killing my
shoulder.
