it is made for binoculars. The Billingham 72 is designed for camera with lens attached.

Looks like it could be very bouncy on the hips with the weight of an M and lens in it, and the fastening doesn't look very secure in a crowd. Maybe a small Peak Design sling bag (no bouncing around) would be better as they can be just dropped down to the waist/hip position with a quick release catch and have a zip to close them?

Hi. I own the Galbin 8 bag. I can assure you that it fits a minimalistic approach like a M6/M5+Summicron lens or Nikon FM+50ais lens.
