Subject: RE: [Leica] Slimline case for M6?

I carry an M6 and one lens with me at all times (well... nearly all times).
The lens is the 35/1.4 ASPH with square hood. I use a Domke pouch. It's
vertical, Velcro flap closure, and just fits the camera with lens attached.
A lens cap on the lens. There is enough room at the top, under the flap, to
store the square hood with rubber flap cap, and an extra roll of film. I
put this in my brief bag. It also has a belt loop on the back so it can be
worn on your belt. There's also a D-ring above the belt loop for, I guess,
a shoulder strap.

Bottom line... the pouch is "exactly" the size of an M6 + 35/1.4 (focused
at infinity). With a little spare room at the top for the shade and one
roll of film. The model number is not printed on it but if anybody wants
it, I'll get it from KSP (Keeble & Shuchat Photography) tomorrow and post it.
