I just got mine in the mail today.  It's a nice little bag.  Not going to lie, it doesn't fit an M great in my opinion.  It's fine if you remove the little padded 'clever cube' but then it's hard to separate your camera from a second lens.  I do have a grip on my camera so it makes it slightly taller than the cube is wide.  

If you watch the video on their site, some guy demonstrates an M11 in the bag with the cube, but notice he never zips it shut - the camera sticks out a bit too much for the zipper to close smoothly.

All in all, nice little bag for maybe a camera with a lens on it + a battery, but it's not ideal for an M in my view.  If I'm going to take an extra lens, I'd much rather take my Domke F-5XA (camera + 2 lenses) or Thinktank Retrospective 4 (camera +3-4 lenses).

Thanks for sharing--that's a bummer to hear

Artisan and Artist Oskar One Day Canvas Bag . $180 today at B&H. It does not look like a camera bag.

It looks exactly like a camera bag.

Yes, but unless it actually SCREAMS camera bag, it’s probably ok … 😉

Maybe it will really work for others.  I picked up the Wotancraft bag based on a bunch of recommendations and don't really like it.  It's way too big for a camera + 2 lenses, but I had a hard time figuring out how to fit more lenses in there without a bunch of wraps and stuff.  

The Thinktank and Domke bags just make sense to me with the way I think.

I often use this setup: Billingham Pola Stowaway plus 2 Billingham Hadley Small Pro dividers. This allows me to carry the M11 with a lens attached and one extra lens or Visoflex. I use the back pocket of the bag for my phone.

One of these has worked extremely well for me (camera/lens + extra lens)!
