I've tried an Op/Tech case, for the 60D, and had exactly the same problem,
small case fit with difficulty and big was
going to be very sloppy. I could see where even one that fit it would get in
the way, so it went back.
I use the old style Lowepro Photorunner* on my waist, often with the shoulder
strap picking up part of the weight. E-M5
with 14-150, 75-300 and a couple of smaller lenses will all fit in the main
part, a spare Pen body, pancake lens,
battery/card bag(s), extension tube(s), etc. fit in the surprisingly capacious
side pocket.
The E-M5 goes naked but for a strap in use, or is protected in the bag.
Anything else is just too awkward for me in use.
If it rains, I mount the 12-50 and let 'em get wet. Haven't tried a downpour as
yet - I don't want to be out then - but
light rain is only a problem in getting the front element spotted with drops.
