["Roland Smith" <roland@dnai.com>]

Hello Skip:

I feel the bag is a very important part of my photography.   It makes a
difference when negotiating my way through crowds with my luggage and it
also influences my choice of the camera bodies and lenses I take.

I plan to take a more careful look at Domke at a store near me that has a
good selection.

Thanks for your comments,

Roland Smith
