The good point is that it is hard to know from the outside that it's a bag for cameras. One of my friend has two of them , one small (for a body and two lenses), and a second big one, for like 2 bodies and lenses. They make an entire line of bags. I think that there are some especially for the M cameras. The mark is V F Reporter. I didn't found info on the Web, I will try to get a catalog and scan it. May be our French Luggers have more info? Xavier.
