My 803 normally holds two M6s with 35mm and 50mm lenses mounted, plus a 90mm and 24mm lens coupled together, plus occasionally the 135mm lens and an M3 body in one of the front pockets. The other front pocket holds a few rolls of film. But it is tight. For my R8/SL2 system I usually use the bigger Domke 805 bag. The R lenses are always larger than the equivalent M lenses, and I cannot imagine putting more than a lensless R8 body and two lenses into an 803.
