I want a very small bag for a Mamiya RB67 ProS carrying only the body, one 120 film back, and the 127mm Sekor C lens. I'm considering a compact bag like a Bestek insert listed at 8 x 4.7 x 6.7 inches. How can I tell whether this type of bag will fit the camera safely?

Do you think I can fit it into this Bestek bag?
The dimensions given for the camera insert are: 8"x4.7"x6.7"
So... get the gear you want to carry, arrange it about as you would in a bag, and get busy with your ruler. It's possible that the dimensions given are outside dimensions, so take that into account.
This procedure will help you evaluate any bag.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The practical way to judge it is to measure your actual kit and compare it to the bag’s usable interior dimensions.
Set up the RB67 ProS with the 127mm lens and 120 back arranged the way you’d carry it, then measure the overall length, width, and height with a ruler or tape measure. Compare those numbers to the bag insert dimensions listed for the bag.
Be careful: published bag dimensions may be exterior dimensions, not true internal space, and padding will reduce usable room. So if your measurements are close to the listed size, the fit may be too tight.
This same method works for any bag: measure your gear, measure the interior, and leave a little extra space for padding and easy access.
