Looking for a small case/bag to fit M8 with 35 Summarit + Voigtlander 25 or 21mm.
Some of the older crumpler ones seem about the right size.
Seem to have lost it with the newer ones!
Got to trek up Machu Picchu with it so it has got to be very comfortable! Shoulder sling style.
Got a Lowe pro Nova but its just a bit boxy & heavy.
Any Suggestions?

Domke F-5XA fits my M3 nicely, with body, lens, film and filter, with room for a spare lens also. Same bag also fits my Nikon D300 & zoom, so with an M, there will be a little room in there too.

Or for something even smaller, try out the Domke F-5XB. I typically carry my M8+lens, 135 Elmar and the Sony Nex.
The Domke F-5XB is even smaller. Perfect for a M and an extra lens.

Another vote for the Domke F-5XB - takes the body with lens plus at least 2 more.

I use a Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home when going light. Small and can hold 2 bodies and 2 lenses if need be.
I bought mine from our resident Bag King

Domke F-5XB is nice too, have a pair of Domke's in the F-5XA & F-5XB. Find the F-5XB is useful as my bag for 2 bodies, and the smaller F-5XA is the perfect bag for a single body.

In my F5XB I carry an M9 body, four lenses (using the rear couplers), SF24D flash, 2 accessory viewfinders in their leather cases, two spare batteries in small plastic boxes, several SD cards, a microfiber cloth in a ziploc bag, and a disposable shower cap (aka Leica weathersealing ). I use a 2" wide nylon belt simultaneously with an OpTech SOS (springy) shoulder strap, and it rides very securely and comfortably close to the hip or swung around to the small of my back for protracted walking (in areas where pickpocketry isn't a problem of course).
I have several F5XB's, but my favorite is the one in ballistic nylon.

You might want to look at the Artisan & Artist messenger bag called "Oscar's day bag". I use mine to carry an M4 with 50mm DR 'cron, 90mm 'cron, 35 mm Zeiss Biogon, 135 Hektor and Seconic meter. Good wide strap & carry strap. Neat package.

Another vote for the Domke F5XB. I have the Waxwear version and I love it. It can take a body with a lens mounted and maybe 2 more lenses and a mobile phone.

ACAM 1100, the 'Evans Walker' by Artist and Artisan. I carry three lenses and the M9 plus hoods, VFs, blower brush, light meter, pen, cable release. Comfortable for hiking with a thick wide strap across the body. Not really waterproof. I have carried two film Ms and three lenses in it too.

I recently acquired a BareBonesBag, and it is small, light, and carries a body and a couple of lenses perfectly.

My go to bag is the LowePro Passport Sling, seen here on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Lowepro-Passport-Sling-Camera-Bag/dp/B0039NLS4C
(and no, I dont work for amazon!).
and the video link with a pretty girl!: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/mBNYGEFVGW2SZ/ref=ent_fb_link
Its light, inconspicuous, sheds water, has an expandable pouch (great for water bottle/book when traveling/walking),
2 zippers on top, foam padding inside that can be moved around. there are also small pockets inside
specifically for film rolls and digital cards.
And it wont break the bank.
