It was designed with a small rangefinder camera in mind. It's quite a bit smaller than the F 5.6, and has a section in the front which holds a tabletop tripod comfortably. The bag is not as comfortable to work out of as some of the others you mention, but it is small, extremely waterproof and will offer good protection. The Alice is another Billingham bag; it's slightly larger, but is smaller than the 5.6 and has a flap similar to the Domke bags. The reversing ring (which holds two lenses back-to-back) is very handy, since you can couple two lenses together, and they then can fit in one section or pocket without banging around. You can see pictures of many of the Billinghams, and many other bags, at the B&H site: www.bhphotovideo.com - - Paul
