Oberwerth Louis for M11 - will an SL2-S with 35 APO SL fit?

I need a very nice looking bag to carry the SL2-s with one APO Summicron SL prime attached for when I go to formal events.  It seems the Oberwerth Louis may just fit the SL2-S plus the 35 APO Summicron SL mounted.  I haven't seen the bag in person, but going by the internal dimensions it may be a little tight but should work.  Anyone try it?

If you are looking for a small-ish, nice-looking bag to fit the SL2-S and either a prime or the 24-90 zoom and some memory cards/batteries, I like the Billingham SL2 bag.

It is well-padded, nice looking and pretty much waterproof.

SL2-S with 35 SL Summicron fits very nicely into the Billingham Digital.

FWIW, my SL2 with 24-90 fits perfectly lengthwise in my 20 year old Fogg b-laika (without dividers), which is smaller than the current version. In all-black, it’s a fairly discreet yet stylish bag (mine is also well worn).  

I tried the much, much larger Oberwerth Porto (now replaced by their SL2 bag, I think) to hold a full SL2 kit with zooms, but found it too heavy and too rigidly structured for my taste. I replaced it with a Billingham Hadley One, all black, which better suits my preferences. A smaller Billingham, as others note, could be a good alternative option.

I have an Oberwerth Boulevard Tablet that I originally bought for my M10 (now sold) and now use for my SL2-S.

It can hold the SL2 with a prime lens mounted and another lens on the side. It is a pretty tight fit but it works and is a nice and light set up. With the divider removed it will also fit SL2 with 24-90 mounted (hood reversed). I note that Boulevard tablet has an internal width of 12cm, whereas the bag you are interested in is only 10cm - that might make it too much of a tight fit.
