[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm looking for a bag which will hold a Leicaflex and an M (or two Leicaflexes), several lenses and their shades, a meter, and (at times when I need them) a table tripod + ball & socket head. The Domke F6 looks about the right size. However, the photo in the Domke catalog and website is not very clear. OK, so the main interior of the case can hold two cameras plus a short insert, but what and where are the remainder of the "nine compartments & pockets" mentioned in the catalog entry? I've seen the larger F-2 model in a camera store, and empty it looked a bit of a "dog's dinner" with the large pockets sticking out at either end of the main bag. The main compartment measures 12 X 6 X 7, but what sort of overall size is the entire bag? I can vaguely recall seeing an F6 some time ago in a camera store and hardly giving it a second glance because it's small handstrap was fitted with relatively small snaphooks (I'd just had an accident with a computer bag whose snaphooks were much much heavier than those on the Domke handstrap, yet had failed.) However, to judge from the Domke catalog, the bag also has a proper shoulder strap of much more solid construction. I'll need that - Leicaflex outfits are much heavier than today's R kit.
