The other two spaces -- to either side of the insert, are obviously available, but do not have "inserts". The 803 canvas is relatively stiff, so the bag has considerable form even without inserts, which are most useful in this bag for adding additional padding. I've used an 803 with two M bodies with short lenses mounted in each of the end compartments (no inserts) and two additional lenses (90mm Tele-Elmarit and 21mm SA with finder) in the middle insert. A Vivitar 283 will fit in one of the front pockets. Film will fit in the other. Bottom line, just get the 803 with the included single insert and try it out as is before determining that you need more. - -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe@ldp.com Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
