With that good stuff, Ken, forget about the CL, in my opinion...and I
owned one for years...it's a real pooch.  My advice is keep the kit trim
and see what you can do without any bag at all!

   For me, this is the core of Leica photography.  Travel light and
   minimize the decisions one must make to capture any fleeting
   moment.

I too have a small kit that I use, a 60's vintage M2, 35/2 Sumicron
and a 90/2.8 TE. I also have a screw mount 21/4 SA that may be added
to the mix. All this plus the little Gossen digilux meter fit in an
old Tenba bag I have had for years. The Gossen is now attached to a
mini keyback on my waistband, where it is very convient. One of these
days I will get the CL claed, and them it might find its way back into
the bag.

Years ago I used to carry a small Domke canvas bag with two Olympus om
bodies, a 21/2 (why no one else was ever able to make a 21/2 remains a
mystery, its a wonderful lens), 35/2, 100/2.8 and maybe a 180/28. All
compact and easy to carry.
