That said i picked up a F-3X Super Compact Bag Navy 8.5L x 5.5W x 9"D last week at CameraWorld on a special sale for $63.59. But this week i found myself carrying my Hasselblad around in my blue F-6 Little Bit Smaller Bag, "Ballistic" last week. 12L x 6W x 7"D. Lowe-Pro is nice but i'm starting to love CANVAS And CANVAS is what Domke is all about. They do look less like camera bags in a good way.
