I, too, use the F6 with my M6 and 3 lenses plus film and a Palm Pilot. Plenty roomy for all that. Even been known to toss in a diet coke (unopened, of course) when I'm on the run.

It's a great bag, doesn't scream "cameras here" and is doubly nice as it comes with both a shoulder strap and a shorter hand strap which fits around my waist....so doubles as a fanny pack when my arms get tired. Love it.

However, if you get creative and have the right lenses and some back-to-back couplers, you can cram in a ton of Leica stuff.  I've carried three bodies (two with lenses) and an additional four lenses coupled into two stacks, for a total of three bodies and six lenses.  In this configuration it is very heavy, and impossible to work out of.  Just what you want when shooting with Leicas :-)
