I know that probably makes me unusual, but if I have a leather Leica supplied case for the lens, then I'm using it. Since the bag has three sections, one section holds the M6 and the SF20. The middle section hold my 90mm in the case and a 28mm on top of that (no case for the 28mm). The other side section holds a 50mm Summilux and a 35mm Summicron both in their cases. For me, no problem. I does take a few minutes to get everything set up when I go out, though. I will take the lenses out of their cases, rearrange the bag, and make sure I keep one lens on the M6 at all times! Several years ago during trips to Paris and Normandy, I only had one lens...the 50mm and then I left the bag in the hotel room. I could detach the lens, put it in my jacket pocket and let the camera hang from my neck inside my jacket. You could leave a lens attached to the camera in the bag if it were small enough. I can do it with the 35mm. Now....I would like to have an M7 either to complement or replace my M6....what to do....what to do!!!
