I think the five million is JUST right for just photographic stuff. I think
the 6 million would be just right for an M+50, two lenses, and the purse
sorts of things. I would probably zip that latter stuff up in a Duluth

Inside of the bag.

The Crumplers seem to be more efficient than the Domke bags insofar as
getting the camera and accessories packed together instead of flopping
around.

Advantage: Crumpler.

I got the 4 million dollar home and I think it's a little too small. 
:-(  I can fit the M8 and one extra lens but then I can't get in my 
wallet with credit cards, etc.  I was hoping for something that will 
be able to fit both photography and purse.  I guess I'll try for the 
5 or 6 million.  I have a hard time imagining the sizes from the 
descriptions on the website.   I know I could get out a ruler but I 
still have problems visualizing that and the photos on the web seem 
to include a lot more than can actually fit in the bags.  I do like 
the quality and unobtrusive qualities of the bags.
