[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a Domke F-803, well two of them actually, that I used for M's and I find that it works wonderfully for carrying my M8. I can fit in a generous mix of lenses, fewer if I want the Noct (which I don't carry during daytime outdoors shooting). I have the 15mmCV, 28mmCV, 35 Summicron, 50 Summicron, 90mm f2.8 elmerit (spelling approximate). It's a good mix for the camera although I think I've mounted the 90 about twice and one of those was just to see how it works. I have the 1.25x magnifier attached to the camera and take it off about twice as well. For evening work I tend to leave behind the 15 and take the Noct and the CV f1.2 35mm which is a good lens close up but for some reason wants to bind at infinity so I use it for portraiture where the depth of field wide-open works well for me.
