Thanks Ron 
ah.. Charles, thanks for the explanation. Interesting observation.
Gregory, very nice set with the Calgary Stampede Parade, my favorite is the 1st 35Lux shot with the people back-lighted.
Charles, excellent set with the 28Cron. I like the irony of the last shot with the dog. Good catch! The monk portrait with the 35Lux II is really nice!!
Kyle, excellent set from your trip to Turkey!! Lots of keepers there, I especially like the first 3 shots, and the hot air balloon shots!
Boris, sorry to hear about your camera issues. Hope it comes back properly aligned soon.
Ron, another excellent set with the ZM50P. The 3rd vertical shot of the tree is my favorite from this set. I think your pp matches very well with the ZM50P rendering (in a good way). And based on Charles's explanation, you must have some of those root square formulas hardwired into you? Superb composition and diagonal play on the last set above! Really like #1, the red accent caps it off.
Ryan, excellent night shots. The 90 Macro flower set is beautiful. Nice background blur for a f/4 lens.

Alright, here's some diversion for some of you bag lovers. I recently bought a Fogg b-laika bag and have been using this setup for the past month. The first reaction I had to the Fogg bag pricing was akin to what I felt when I first looked at the Leica M9 price , .i.e., "what the  ", but then after searching high and low for a nice looking smallish bag, I bought one in grey and brown leather trim from Tamarkin. It's my favorite bag for the Leica kit (so far  ). Its relatively compact, almost similar to the Domke Fx-5b but fits much better.
First, some pics of the front and rear.
Here's some details of the bag and craftsmanship. Lots of beautiful leather.
The internals are lined in linen and it comes with two adjustable separators and a padded "flap" which allows you to stack one lens on top each otherr. Note the leather detail on the flap's tab.
This is my digital only kit, M9 with 28Cron, 35Lux ASPH, 50Lux ASPH, 90 Summarit. There is sufficient space for a sunglasses pouch or a M9 charger plus cables. Edit: There are three (not two) internal front pockets, one zipped and another with a separate flap and velcro. These can fit filters, cleaning cloth, lens pen, spare batteries, etc. This setup weights 7lbs. Note that with this setup, I have to stack one lens on top of another in the middle compartment. The flap's padding does a great job of protecting the lenses from rubbing against each other. The middle compartment fits a combination of two of the following: 28Cron, 35Lux with hood attached or the 50Lux ASPH.
It can also fit 2 M bodies, but with this setup, you either have (i) two cameras, both with lenses mounted but with no room to spare for spare lens or (ii) one camera with lens mounted, another without lens. This leaves space in the middle compartment for either 2 lenses stacked on top of each other or one longer 75/90 lens in the middle.
Finally, a comparison of its size with a Domke FX-5b and a Billingham Hadley Pro

of the monk. Your lab conversions are excellent!
