Smallest bag for Contax g2 with 2 lenses

I take back what I said about the price not being bad. It isn't bad in the UK at =A370 (no Vat) but checking the US importers site for the very same bad he wants $239. I know our exchange rate is bad against the pound, but not THAT bad. Yikes. -Lynn ... US distributors site: http://www.rtsphoto.com/html/bill7.html

One of the nicest bags that I have found for the G2 system is a shooters bag sold by mclassics.com. The bag is an updated version of a Leica style bag and is made for a small rangefinder system. The bag holds a G2 with a lens in a forward compartment and 2-3 lenses and flash in an adjustable rear compartment. There are three front pockets which can hold plenty of film, a second body, and a light meter respectively. The adjustable shoulder strap attaches to the rear of the bag rather than to the sides of the bag which permits the bag to "hang close" to your body. The bag's flap closes with either velcro for rapid entry or with side snaps and a center buckle for safety during transport. The material resists water, and the bag does not look like a camera bag. The only negative is that the bag is not padded, but it is not difficult to add a layer of foam rubber to the bottom for some extra protection. The bag was specifically designed for rapid shooting and works well in the field. It is used by many professionals. The web site is www.mclassics.com. The owner's name is Seth and is very reliable. The cost is reasonable for the quality.
 
I found the leather G-1 bag from Contax to be the handiest and most compact. Custom fit for a camera with lens attached, flash and two additional lenses.

The G-2 version is a bit larger.
