Francesco, I've had one of the early Domke's (from the time when he sold them from his house), and have used it to carry 2 4x5 cameras with 6 lenses, holders for 24 sheets of film and all requisite accessories for this stuff, so I would say that the F2 is too big for what you want. It'll flop around too much, the top of the bag will collapse in on itself, and the items will thus be hard to retrieve. For M equipment I use bags that are not too deep, and fairly stiff. I have a bag right now that holds 3 bodies, 5 lenses, film and little stuff with a Sekonic 308 meter that is about 1/3 the volume of the F2 Domke. Unfortunately, I don't know the brand. It's black leather, made in China, and cost $39 Cdn. It doesn't stick out very far from my body when I'm carrying it (a major point with me), and looks like a cheap bag made for a point and shoot plus lunch (which might be the design criteria). I put a better strap and pad on it, but otherwise use it as it came, with dividers so that the two bodies are back to back with a divider between them, and under the lenses (separated by dividers) are two more lenses lying at right angles to the lenses on the cameras. The third body is in an end pocket with a flat lens. The other end pocket holds film (about 10 rolls). Front pckets hold the meter and other stuff. If I need more film I use a belt pouch. I really hate bags that are bigger than they need to be. Stuff just flops around in them, and the bags catch on people and things I'm walking by. * Henning J.
