Both bags are fairly reasonable, should hold all your gears and they are relatively small (does not add much mass). Tenba is well padded so, it should protect your gear better. Domke on the other hand is very light and soft so, to me they are easier to carry (at least for me). I use Domke and my wife uses Tenba. I think both bags are equally good. If you like to be a bit pretentious( and willing to pay for it), you can go with either Fogg or Billigham. Billigham bags are extremely well built and very nice looking bags. However, I find their medium and large bags rather difficult to use in actual shootings. This is my personal preference and I know many who are very happy with their Bilinghams. Hadley series bags are just fine but I', not sure if they will meet your needs. To me some of the Fogg bags are almost ideal camera bags. They are expensive but give you a joy of owing a well though out hand crafted bag that are very functional and relatively hard to find. Of the Fogg bags, Violin, B major or E flat should be suitable for your gear. I use smaller Fogg bags for my M gear. Isaku >From: "Steven A.
