I don't bother with a specialised case, I just use a 25 litre rucksack (cost
about 12 UKP). The lenses go in a small padded bag intended for a compact
camera and the M6 goes around my neck. I can always put the camera in the
rucksack if necessary.

The rucksack still has plenty of space for anything bought along the way
(books etc.).

FWIW, the best way to transport the M is to use no bag at all. Over the
years I've learned that bags just get in the way with the M system (I still
use them with SLR gear).

Transporting is indeed an issue. On a plane, I'll put the body and lenses in
whatever hand luggage I'm carrying. But whenever possible I have the body
and one lens slung around my neck. The beauty of the M system is that it's
always at the ready.

I don't mean this to poke fun. I tried toting around bags for years. Never
found one that was perfect, or as good as none at all. It was tough to wean
myself of always toting around the latest and best bag. But I've found that
the less I carry, the better I photograph.
