This mitigated their new bag smell quite a bit and helped break them in. (I also took the bright DOMKE! tag off the darker bag as it just screamed "steal me please.") And no, I don't think the smell will hurt your cameras of film. That new bag look and smell will attract folks to what you are carrying though.
