A fine illustration, Moose, thanks. I might be able to put two Fuji bodies

Yes. AGreed.
My only issue with Moose's bag, which might be addressed and I'm not
seeing it, is the nose-down orientation. This puts the lenses on a
potential collision course with disaster. If the bag is dropped or
encounters a sudden decrease in vertical velocity, the lens will
absorb the brunt of the impact and my break internally. I've had this
happen before. But is may not be an issue given the light weight of
the camera itself.
1. There is padding on the bottom of the insert.
2. As you say, the cameras aren't very heavy.
3. The 12-50 has it's hood on, which should sacrifice itself, if necessary.
In my camera bags, I usually have my lenses stored
vertically, but without a camera on top of them. The camera sits in
the bag not nose down. Either on the camera bottom or on the left
side.
I have yet to find a bag that meets my criteria of size, weight and accessibility with the camera/lens combinations in
any configuration but vertical. I want to be able to reach in, pull a camera/lens out and put it right up to my eye,
ready to shoot - in a moment. That's one reason I think the on/off switch on the GX7 is genius. The new location on the
E-M5 II is now usable, compared to the useless switch on the Mark I.
4. If having things the way they work for me means the 75-300 is sacrificed one day, unlikely as I think that is, it
just gives me the opportunity to buy the later version. :-)
Thanks for the reminder that I should start keeping an eye out for a
new camera bag one of these years.
Maybe you, too should visit my bag closet. :-)
