My eBay IS-3 came with a LowePro rectangular shoulder bag that
holds the camera, B-28, B-300, macro lens, and G-40 fairly well.
Sorry its at home and I don't remember the model. It's about 1.5 times
the length of the IS-3.
For the OM's I much prefer the LowePro MicroTreker backpacks.
Their compartments are very flexible so they could be used with the
IS-3, but you don't need that many compartments for it, so the ready
access of a shoulder bag is probably better.
Henry's has LowePro bags on eBay regularly, with better selection,
and much better prices than the camera stores around me.
