Customer Reviews
Perfect everyday bag
I originally ordered the Domke F-6 Little Bit Smaller Bag (Olive), but decided that it was a little too small for my needs, as I like to use my bag on a daily basis and need a lot of organization options. So, I returned the F-6 and ordered the F-2 (I stuck with the olive color because it rocks!) and am much happier with the outer pockets and size. I also like the fact that the F-2 has a removable padded bottom insert, a feature that is not available on the F-6.
So, this bag is a perfect size for my kit (Nikon D40 with 18-55mm lens, Sigma 10-20mm, and Nikon 10.5mm fisheye) and other everyday items (IPod, car keys, hat, etc). If you're looking for a smaller bag for travel or to serve exclusively as a camera bag, the F-6 just might meet your needs. But, if you're like me and like lots of outer pockets and storage options, I would suggest going with the F-2.
Great Bag!
I purchased this bag after reading a lot of reviews and I am very happy with it. After a week of use I did replace the metal clips on the front (I cut them off and replaced them with a couple of small black screwgate carabiners). The carabiners are much easier to open when I want to get to my equipment quickly and the screwgates are nice when I am traveling in crowded places and want to keep my equipment extra secure.
All in all it's a great bag and I'm sure I'll be using it for many, many years...
A Short List of Things I Carry In My Domke F-2 Camera Bag
It's big. It's tough as nails. It's a non-obtrusive yet cool olive color. And I've stuffed all of these items into it, with room to spare:
- 35mm SLR camera body with 50mm lens attached
- A second 35mm SLR camera body
- 50mm lens
- 28mm lens
- 35-70mm zoom lens
- 135mm telephoto lens
- an external flash unit
- a light meter
- 6 different lens contrast filters
- 20 ft. shutter release cable
- 2 ft shutter release cable
- 3 extra lens caps
- extra eye cup
- collapsible lens shade
- 2 extra camera batteries
- 2 lens cloths
- small bottle of lens cleaning spray
- 7 rolls of 35mm film (looks like it can hold double that)
- an 18% gray card
- pocket sized notebook and pen
Everything is nicely organized inside, with the modular pockets, so that I can get to them easily. The hand strap and shoulder strap are sturdy yet easy on the hands. The canvas is thick but feels soft against my body, which is a bonus for times when I have to lug the bag around all day. The clips on the front do a great job of holding the top cover down. And they're easy to release. Overall, an excellent construction throughout!
I got this bag as an upgrade to the Domke 700-80D F-8 Small Shoulder Bag - Olive Green, a tiny yet equally versatile travel bag that works well for street photography. The F-2, however, is a true system bag for serious photographers and all of their gear. I highly recommend it!
