I have a Domke F-803, well two of them actually, that I used for M's
and I find that it works wonderfully for carrying my M8. I can fit in
a generous mix of lenses, fewer if I want the Noct (which I don't
carry during daytime outdoors shooting). I have the 15mmCV, 28mmCV, 35
Summicron, 50 Summicron, 90mm f2.8 elmerit (spelling approximate).
It's a good mix for the camera although I think I've mounted the 90
about twice and one of those was just to see how it works.

I have the 1.25x magnifier attached to the camera and take it off
about twice as well. For evening work I tend to leave behind the 15
and take the Noct and the CV f1.2 35mm which is a good lens close up
but for some reason wants to bind at infinity so I use it for
portraiture where the depth of field wide-open works well for me.
