Domke F2. My favorite bag. It's a love-hate relationship. They are a pain because they wear out too fast. But then, I'm pretty hard on a bag, and they hold up until they look so ratty you can't stand to be seen with it on your shoulder anywhere more sophisticated than a pro wrestling match. But they fit on your shoulder great, mould to your body, so they hang down, not out. They hold a lot of stuff. Photojournalists prefer this bag at a ratio of about 10:1 with anything else. I have yet to find a bag of any make that would cause me to give up my Domke. Once while photographing salmon migrating up-river in Southern Oregon I slipped on a rock and my Domke got dunked almost up to the top. Fortunately my foot hit bottom before it went over the top. Everything inside was dry. Talk about a scare, try dunking a bag full of Leicas! :-) Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
