Here is how I will change my behavior at a minor cost in discomfort. When I don't specifically expect to use the rig, just want to have it with me I will take a case that I accidentally inherited which is where the Leica lives at home(cat proof). It is 9.5 inches high, 9.5 wide, and 5 deep. Has three compartments as well as a thin front pocket for misc gee gaws such as spare battery. OK. The camera with 35mm lens on it lives in one compartment, The 90mm lives in another, and a hood for the 35 lives in the third. >I with Sonny and George here.
