I've been meaning to post these three photos for a while -- my canvas Leitz bag with a Tenba insert. This works well for my kit of two Bessa Rs and three lenses.
Bag closed
Bag open
Insert out of bag
I've since moved the light meter to an outer pocket and put my third lens where the meter is shown in the photos.
The insert compartment shown holding a body with 90mm lens also fits a body with 21mm lens and finder.
I'm not sure which Tenba insert this is. It came with a messenger-ish bag that I bought a decade ago, similar to this current model. The insert really fills out this unstructured canvas bag well, giving it some body and the gear lots of protection.
My iPad fits into the bag behind the insert. (It would fit better with a slimmer iPad case than the one I'm using, which is a MarWare Eco-Vue.) A zipper pocket in the top of the bag holds a Leitz tabletop tripod, spare batteries and such.
I guess I should note that the color of this bag probably isn't for everyone. I wouldn't mind it if the canvas were the color of the leather trim! But I got two of these bags for a song at a camera store going-out-of-business sale many years ago. I have just this one left. It's very easy to work out of.
