Kind of odd...One more to keep this thread moving along.

thanks Godfrey. I am really enjoying my micro four thirds experience! Coming from Canon full frame and L series glass, the microfour thirds lens, are top notch, and the best part is how much lighter my camera kit is now!
Godfrey - I have an ancient Think Tank Urban Disguise which is great for major trips as I can fit everything in from passports to bananas :grin: and convert it to a backpack when needed, but I'm looking for something smaller for 'everyday'.I have identical Think Tank Photo "Mirrorless Mover 30i" bags for ...
Fill the Olympus bag with E-M1, Summilux-DG 25/1.4, Lumix 14/2.5 plus wide converter, Macro-Elmarit 45/2.8, M.Zuiko 75/1.8 plus iPad mini (cable and power supply), three batteries, spare 32G card, and cable remote.....
Olympus bag is 2/3 full. ....

You want the 30i ... the 20i is both much too small and a different design in terms of the bag opening and overflap. The 30i is not too large, it's the right size as far as I'm concerned.Godfrey - I have an ancient Think Tank Urban Disguise which is great for major trips as I can fit everything in from passports to bananas :grin: and convert it to a backpack when needed, but I'm looking for something smaller for 'everyday'.
From your 2/3rds full description the 30i is in theory too big, but looking on TTP's website, the 20i appears too small to fit my EM-1 with 12-40 lens and hood fitted, 14-150 occasionally, and with the odd battery, mobile phone etc.
There's no TTP stockists in my area to visit for a 'fitting'.
Did you look at the 20i and if it's not too much trouble please could you post a picture of your 30i's interior with your EM-1 fitted with a 12-40 ish size lens with hood in it? ...
I bought the MM30i for the A7 kit as the Leica R lenses are somewhat bulky, my other bags didn't work well. I went back to get the MM20 for the E-M1, but the MM30i was a much more versatile fir so I bought a second one.Interesting. I have the MM30i (but didn't know it was called that). I went into Keeble & Shuchat with an armload of Olympus lenses and the new E-M1, and came out with that bag, which I still haven't completely filled.
I prefer to err on the "slightly too large" side with bags. Slightly too small is always a pain in the tookus.Thank you Godfrey, most informative.
Of course the size I need doesn't exist .... The MM25i
BTW Are you alpha testing a new Black & Decker camera?
Yes, that's otherwise known as the ACAM 1100 ... it was the design base for the Black Label Bag "Oskar's One Day Bag mark II" sold by Photo Village in NY. Wonderful bag, but I find I prefer it for my rangefinder cameras. I've had one since 2010 (I think). It does best with the Ricoh GXR, Leica M9, M4-2, CL, etc, for me.I have over a dozen bags in my closet, and a backpack. I always seem to go back to my A&A Oskar One Day bag (that I have had and loved since 2006). Mine is well-worn, but still looks good. The thing that I love most about it is the way that it conforms to what you have in it. It can be light and fit close, or be filled like a bowling ball. Everything is well padded and secure in it.
I've had an F5XB for many years—I think this one is now 20+ years old. It's currently the bag which my Olympus E-1 lives in. The problem now is that I almost always have the iPad mini with me, and there's just not quite enough space in the F5XB for it.For an EM-1 and an extra lens or so I usually use a Domke F-5xb ...
