there is a photograph of it in the right-hand column, one up from the

I have one of these. Perfect for hiking. It has a sturdy belt loop and sits
like a waist pouch. Tailored to the M, there is an indent in the padding in
the lid for the shutter release. Others that fit in it happily: IIIg and
CLE but (sadly) not the M5. It is not very deep. The Elmar has to be
collapsed to fit; M-Rokkor 28mm and 40mm are ok with hoods folded back and
the (old) 35mm Summicron fits too.
