It holds film, batteries, M7, a couple of lenses, even the flash if I need it. It is very sturdy and heavily padded but not bulky. It has the loudest velcro in the world making it great around thieves :-) Before that bag I used a nice insulated lunch bag that, by luck, fit my M7 with lens, two other lenses, 4 rolls of film and the FS-20 flash perfectly. It was also olive green which everyone knows looks cool and lends instant street crud, er, cred... It also looked like a lunch bag, not a camera bag, so I could carry it anywhere. Anyway the strap couldn't hold up after 2 years so I had to ditch it. Not bad for a $10 bag!
