great shoulder bag

linsmea from South Florida

I don't often use shoulder bags anymore because they throw off my back, but I picked this one up a few days ago and have really been pleased. I use the bag for two Leica film bodies with lenses attached, with another two M lenses and the Leica flash. The bag fits everything beautifully with just the perfect amount of room to spare for film and extras. From what I can tell so far the bag is extremely durable. When I didn't have the bag I just carried the cameras around and they kind of got beat up a little, but I always had them ready to shoot. So, now my only gripe is that they are not always at the ready because they're in a bag, but that's no one's fault buy my own. At least they are in a well made bag that fits them particularly nicely.

Great Camera Bag

Great Camera Bag

Brad from Gaithersburg, MD

I purchased this bag about two months ago and have been using it since. I really like the bag becuase it does not look like a camera bag, and it holds all my stuff just great. I have a Nikon D-80 body, a 70-300 zoom lense, a 50 mm fixed lense and a 17-70 zoom lense. I also carry a Nikon SB-800 flash. All this fits nicely into the bag along with filters and other small items. The bag is well made and there were no probelems with it when I recieved it. The sholder strap and handle strap make carrying the bag very easy, does not slip of my sholder a very important feature. The internal compartments seem to be just the right size for my setup. However if you want to keep the camera in the bag with a lense mounted you either need to oder a different insert or consider a different bag. At first I thought this might be a problem, but for me it has not been an issue. The only other issue I have is the color of the bag in the photo is not exactly correct. the Sandy colored bag is a … Read more

Just what the doctor ordered

j.polaski Photography from Ansonia, CT

I decided to switch from a Tamrac to he Domke for a lower key and better hugging bag. I have an older Domke laying around I use on occasion and know that these bags look better the older they get. When I found this bag I knew it had it all. The pockets are well padded and the velcro system works well for the future when I need to adjust. The top pocket and front pocket are great for everything I need to hold and I love the open back pocket for any books or maps that I might need. The strap holds wonderfully well with it's grippy threads, and the flap stays put whether it's buckled or not. I can easily take this bag from film to digital without missing a beat. Daily, I carry the following in my bag: Nikon D70 with 18-70 3.5-4.5 Nikkor Nikkor 70-300 G SB 600 SC-17 Gary Fong Lightsphere Lensbaby G-1 charger extra batteries cleaning tools and it all sits perfectly. I really couldn't be happier and with the khaki color I find it professional yet understated. If I had to pi … Read more

A Big little bit smaller bag

A Big little bit smaller bag

La Vie Verte from Tamp Bay, FL

I am extremely happy with the selection of this bag from Domke. I wanted a quality bag just large enough for my basic kit, but not any larger. I am able to fit my 2 Leica R bodies, power winder, and 2 vario lenses along with flash, and room to spare for a few filters and extra film and batts. This bag fit the bill. The construction is extremely durable, and the natural cotton canvas and webbing is much more comfortable against me than the nylon or other artificial fiber bags I have previously used. I am so happy that we can still design and manufacture quality products in the US. I do have to take a few points off for the clasps used to close the top flap- they are a little bit fidgety sometimes, but very old school cool though. Read more

Perfect day pack, my favorite bag.

Perfect day pack, my favorite bag.

WBPH72 from Columbus, OH

I use this bag as a day pack. While it looks small, it will hold much more than you might expect it to. I usually carry a Nikon D80, two lenses and sometimes a flash. While it is a tight fit, it will actually hold my D80 with 18-70 lens attached, three additional lenses, a second body and a SB-800 flash & charger. (Reminds me a little of a clown car). It has a very long and comfortable strap for those of us who are well over 6ft. While hiking this is a very "quiet " bag. This may be an advantage for wedding photographers also. The bag is soft enough that it wraps around your hip and distributes weight evenly. (All my other bags have a single pressure point.) I am easy on equiptment but others may want a little more padding. Read more

Just the Right Size

Just the Right Size

kd from Stratford, CT

There are times when I do not need to carry everything. I have several of the large Domke bags and loved them. I needed something just a little smaller and found it in this F-6 bag. It carries my digital SLR with 2 extra lenses and a flash just fine. It is very comfortable on the shoulder and stays close to your body. It's durable and I have found it is also cleanable. The outside pocket is just the right size for a notepad and a snack. It's just the right size for those last minute grab and go jobs. Read more

Excellent Rangefinder Bag

Excellent Rangefinder Bag

Frank from Jackson, MS

This is an excellent bag for a rangefinder kit. Just so you can get an idea, here is how I load mine: On one side of the four-compartment insert mine holds a M3 w/ lens attached. On the other side of the four-compartment insert mine holds a M6 w/ lens attached. In the four-compartment insert between the cameras the bag easily houses two other lenses, a flash, a light meter and film. The front pocket has plenty of room for filters and a host of other photo gadgets. This bag is small and easy to handle. The gripper strap really works well, too. Plus, it doesn't just scream camera bag. This is a great bag and I'd certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a more compact bag. I use mine for rangefinders, but it can also accomodate a small SLR kit, as well. Read more

Great for the price

SCAD Jin from GA

I love Domke bags because it's light & comport and it'smoderate price.great for 1 body with standard zoom lens, 2 extra lens,flash, light meter and you still have front pocket. If you don't carry manylens, you should take F3 or F4( cause of quick draw it workslike holster type bag) Expertise: Over 10 years pro Problems Encountered: However, It has some problems 1.comport & light means it's not good for protection thisbag focused on taking pictures while carrying gears byyour-self.You shouldn't carry this bag in the car trunk. 2. other than F3 or F4 it doesn't have Velcro on the coverso don't forgot to lock the hooks.

Very versatile bag...

Jim from Binghamton, NY

I recently purchased the F-6 bag for my E-510. The bag worked great, it held my camera the two lenses, battery charger, battery, spare memory card (and reader), as well as my cell phone and charger, wallet, notebook, pencil and numerous other items. I used the bag my whole vacation to California. It really is a great versatile bag. Read more

Gets the job done

Basil Grafas from Atlanta, Georgia

Great durable bag. There is nothing fancy about it, but it provides outstanding, rugged care for my DSLR, two lenses, shades, flash, mini-tripod and sensor cleaning kit. The only change would be to make it about one inch taller to accommodate the 70-300mm on the camera without pushing against the top of the bag. Read more
