I can carry an M6 or M3, three or four lenses, a Leitz table-tripod, buckets of extra film, my old caving pipe, a spare knife, a (Zeiss, of course) micro-fiber cloth, a cable release, and some other gee-gaws. I generally carry a 50 on the camera, and either a 4.5/21 CZJ Biogon in M mount, a 1.4/35 Summilux-M, 2/90 Summicron (can't afford the APO yet!), a 2.8/90 Elmarit-M, and a 3.4/135 APO-Telyt, or I drop the 4.5/21 Biogon and put in a 1.5/7.5cm CZJ Biotar. But the bag is HUGE on the inside, small on the outside. It makes all of your gear weigh half as much as it actually does. It makes your film brighter and faster. In other words, it's almost as good as SHARPO (TM) which, incidentally, has recently been introduced in the Giant Economy 1-Gallon (4-litre) Family Size for those of us who appreciate its fine qualities!
