Maybe you bought one of my old Tamracs? :-) With no disparagement to others' opinions and all kidding aside, I use Domke for about 99% of my bag needs (I have two old Tenbas that see limited use). All my Tamracs and Lowepros are long gone. I have 7 canvas Domke bags dating from current bags to a wonderful 15yr old F2 and a new Outpack Daypack that hasn't seen use yet.. To save my shoulder when walking around, I absolutely LOVE the Kinesis belt system. If you haven't seen this, you owe to yourself to look on their web site or on photo.net for an unbiased review. My shoulder will never be the same (better, that is). Yes, I know it's a sickness, but at least bag-a-holism isn't as expensive as Leica glass!
