Since I've received some off-list email requesting clarification, the PeeWee will hold two M bodies with short lenses, three additional lenses, flash, film, light meter, table-top tripod and still have significant room left over for accessories. So, even though it is "small" as a messenger bag, it is not *that* small as a camera bag. We probably couldn't lift the *big* messenger bags if they were loaded with camera gear. :-) - -- Rolfe Tessem | Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. rolfe@ldp.com | 96 Morton Street (212) 463-0029 | New York, Ny 10014 - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
