So I would say you could put the R8 with 4 lenses in it without couplers and 5 in using one coupler without too much trouble.... but you might be able to get all 6 and I sometimes stick a lens in one of the "film" pouches when I'm desperate for space... If I'm shooting, I have a camera out... so space is a little more free in the bag.... If you carry 2 R8s you might have more a little more difficulty.... I don't have 2 R8s so I really can't say.... but my R8 with the latest 80-200 vario-elmar fits fine with lens mounted on camera... As far as Domkes being a recognizable bag..... I would say the F2 is definitely recognizable as a camera bag even if you've never seen one before.... the 803 is not...

Thinking in terms of only an R8 outfit, is it adequate? I like to roam with 24, 35 OR 50, 90 OR135, 180. I can use lens couplers for the smaller ones. Once at destination, I will use any opportunity to lighten my load, depending on needs. Of course, I will also like to carry four or more rolls of film, a blower, the usual "little stuff". Thanks in advance............Julian
