Give the Tamrac Aero 36 a look.
In reply to Garrett_P, 4 months ago

I just went through a search for a bag for my OM-D, Panny 14/2.5, 25/1.4 & Zuiko 45/1.8, SD Cards, extra battery and Whibal card. In my search I looked at many of the bags mentioned in this thread but most of them were way bigger than I was looking for. I love Think Tank bags but couldn't find anything small enough. Their new Sub Urban series looks promising  but aren't available yet and even those were larger than I wanted.

I tried a Lowepro Apex 110 AW first. About the right size but didn't have any exterior pockets for extras and small items so I returned it. Next I tried a Kata DC-433 (old model) which has pockets on both ends. Nice bag but I just couldn't find a comfortable fit with the single divider and the main zipper was sticky in one section.

Today, my Tamrac Aero 36 arrived. I think I have finally found the bag I was looking for with this one. It was designed from the ground up to be a µ4/3 bag and works very well. It has a bridge design with two dividers so the camera with a lens attached can rest on top of the dividers with extra two lens stowed on either side. It is large enough I think I could double up the primes and stow them on one side and have enough room for a flash on the other side. The pocket up front is big enough for extra cards and a battery or two plus few other small things. Everything fits in well with a bit of extra room but it is still a very small bag.
