Review on 🎒 Domke F-2 Original Shoulder Bag 700-02S (Sand) for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, Fujifilm & Olympus DSLR/Mirrorless Cameras with Multiple Lens capacity up to 300mm and Accessories by Jason Lewis

If I could buy this Domke bag many years ago, I would still carry and use it! I have had experience with several camera bags over the years. Tenba which I outgrew about 5 minutes after receiving it. Two Tamracs that I really like and still own. one is at least 20 years old, the other a little younger, I now store my lighting gear in one and my camera and lenses in the other. A camera backpack designed for people who are much smaller than me. Almost impossible to put on and take off! , and a lovely little shoulder bag that my wife gave me for my birthday a few years ago. It was attractive and nice, with a small photoset, but then again it seemed designed for smaller people. Even though the straps were fully loosened, it still heaved uncomfortably under my arm. A Domke bag that I used at least 20 years ago. FX3 iirc now seems to have been slightly redesigned to be more user and camera friendly. I asked our accountant to buy one for our office camera. I used it for office business and once I was convinced nobody else needed it I used it for my photo gear. It was a good bag. The shoulder strap was comfortable and long enough for my six-foot-plus height, but the non-slip rubber material woven into the shoulder strap wore out quickly and the piping around the lid flap was a lighter material. than the body of the bag, worn out in no time. I hope they fix these problems. The interior seems to have been slightly modified to offer more comfort. Not so with the Domke f-2 bag. The surround is made of the same durable material as the body of the bag and the interior is spacious enough to fit my camera with the 70-300mm lens attached, lens hood flipped back, flash, 3 more lenses, extension cords and extra batteries. , memory cards, cleaning supplies, a rain jacket for me and one for the camera/lens. And that's just the interior, which houses a padded, removable 4-panel divider. The two outer pockets hold a couple of water bottles. The bottom has a soft, removable stiffening rib, covered with the material that makes up the bag on one side and the other side, which is padded, is covered with a smooth, thinner material. . Take it out when you want the bag to fit your body. More bags! The only nits I have to pick are the clips that hold the lid flaps in place. They are made of metal and hold the lid very well, although I would have liked the small plastic slide locks a la Tamrac. They are just as safe and much easier to use. With use, metal springs may become more convenient to use, but I kind of doubt it. They are also used for a short strap, making the bag a handy carry-on bag. Some people have noted that they have removed the DOMKE name tapes found on each bag for a "discreet" unobtrusive presentation. It takes some sensible work of a seam ripper and knife/scissors to do this and the two straps on mine are sewn in one piece with the edge piping, making it a bit questionable not to spoil the bag's excellent construction. I asked my wife if she should remove them and she said "WHY?”; It's a CAMERA BAG, no doubt about it!' So stick with it! If you're looking for a nice, durable, washable, roomy camera bag at a reasonable price, I don't think you will regret buying this bag! One final word of caution: It GETTING HARD when you decide to put everything in there, including the kitchen sink!
