robertwright Posted May 21, 2007 Share #161 Posted May 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) What's the name or model number of that Domke bag? It looks nice! I believe it is the f-803 camera satchel. It comes with a two-compartment insert, I put a three compartment insert in it. They wear pretty quickly, the canvas part that is. don't know if they make a ballistic nylon version or not. There is a bigger one called the f-802, big enough for a powerbook (er macbook pro).

woodyspedden Posted May 21, 2007 Share #162 Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Woody, Long time no talk. I like to isolate every lens somewhat to keep them from banging into each other. My camera bags lead..um..very active lives. I have several bags but none are quite right for the smallest lenses. Best, Sean Sean You're right.......it has been too long although I don't miss any of your reviews or postings. I always learn a lot from your experiences. I think I will try these little square dividers that some have posted on this thread. So long as they are not too thick, they may represent a very viable solution all the best Woody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted May 22, 2007 Share #163 Posted May 22, 2007 Here's my fave - an old (discontinued) Barbour game bag. Note it has end pockets (handy for a phone/lens caps) plus *zippered* front pockets so stuff is secure, plus a zippered top pocket (as little fingers will try and get in while you are in markets, etc. plus a top flap, plus an open back pocket, plus a top grab handle, plus a soft cotton web strap. If only I could find another... Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

martinb Posted May 22, 2007 Share #164 Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks Robert! I might order one the next time I order from B&H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted May 22, 2007 Share #165 Posted May 22, 2007 Stephen, Nice bag! I had a look at a Barbour bag a while ago and actually started to wonder if Billingham produces the bags for them. Build quality and materials were very similiar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted May 22, 2007 Share #166 Posted May 22, 2007 I've tried them all - from M Classic to Billingham to Domke to Fogg (lovely folks) and - well, you get the picture. This old Barbour is tops, but now I have to save it for those trips where security is an issue. Next best for me is a Billingham Hadley Pro with an add-on pocket. Pretty good but no zippered pockets (one snap) or top. The trouble with a snap is that it's not very secure and something like a small viewfinder can find its way out if the bag is not kept vertical.

farnz Posted May 23, 2007 Share #167 Posted May 23, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) For all you intrepid 'bag customisers' here's an idea: glue or otherwise attach a number of rear lens caps to a piece of board or stout plastic that will fit into your camera bag (or perhaps attach it to a preferred part of the camera bag). When you go out, choose the lenses you want to take with you and fit them into the attached lens caps, leaving one cap free. This will prevent the lenses from moving around inside the bag while you travel and simplify lens changing. I constantly find that when I'm changing lenses I could use an extra hand to hold the rear lens cap but this way you simply detach the lens from the camera and place it in the free (mounted) cap and reattach a new lens to the camera without having to juggle lens caps. I haven't done this myself yet so there may be a fatal flaw but it seems like a good idea. What do you think? Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Roggen Posted May 23, 2007 Share #169 Posted May 23, 2007 Chris and Robert, This is how i use my F-803. I took the four-part thing from my wornout F-2 bag and stuffed it in the F-803. It looks a little messy but you get four compartments for your lenses and you don't need to fiddle around with seperate dividers to keep the lensen from hitting eachother. I carry my M8, a cv15mm, a, 21mm, a 28mm, a 35mm, a 50mm and a 90mm. I stack the 15 on top of one of the orter lenses. (back to back). Hans Welcome, dear visitor!

haribo Posted May 23, 2007 Share #171 Posted May 23, 2007 Was about to order the 'Oskar One Day ' bag but found out it's out of stock currently at The Photo Village for at least another month. Here's a question: What do you think about the Crumpler bags?? The 6 Million Dollar Home doesn't look too bad. Would appreciate any and all opinions. Thanks.

SteveP Posted May 23, 2007 Share #172 Posted May 23, 2007 I've never seen a Crumpler with a back pocket. I have no idea why (I mean, they have a gazillion models) but it rules them out for me for a "walk-around" bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted May 23, 2007 Share #173 Posted May 23, 2007 Cindy This looks like a good solution. I haven't had a problem using the lenses lens cap to lens cap but the small dividers take it a step further. Thanks for the information Woody Spedden It is a good idea and I use them too but I'd rather not stack lenses, if I can avoid it, simply because I like them to be accessible. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojobebop Posted March 3, 2009 Share #175 Posted March 3, 2009 I think I'd like both the MClassics and Artisan bags with one BIG exception. It looks like neither would protect from a big down pour. What is the solution? Carry plastic bags in your camera big? Best, Mitchell --------- they also do make a waterproof bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted March 3, 2009 Share #176 Posted March 3, 2009 I have read all the answers... seen all the links and my question is:In my bag I'll put: 1- M8 body with a lense on (likely 35mm lux) 1- 75mm cron lense 1- short focal lense 24 or 21mm (at a later date) 1- Panasonic FZ30 1- Flash unit 1- cards, spare batteries etc. questions... - what bag who be ok for this without looking like a suitcase? - does any one carry the charger in their bag? - would it be more logical to have 2 bags? (a large one for travelling and then a small daily bag to carry the minimum I would need) Thanks, Eric Hi Eric, Agree with Riley,i think a Billingham Hadley pro is good for you. I have bought one black Billingham Hadley Pro few days ago and i have 2 M8 with the 35 and 50mm mounted on the cameras. I can also put a 90mm lens macro and a second tele-M 90mm lens inside Outside you have two big and large pockets where you can put many accessories and we still have place to put a lot of other camera accessories. I have a second Billingham Hadley Original where i put my R8 with its 35-70mm lens mounted and my third M (a M7 with a 28mm lens) + a M 135 mm lens and a big Metz 54 MZ 4i flash. So as you see i have 2 bags for carrying all my cameras for travelling . Billingham seems to be a good quality and it is very soft when you touch it. Inside it's very soft too and it takes care of your cameras (no scratch for your camera) The price is in France about 200 Euros for the first one and 180 E for the second (VTA include) Regards Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJP Posted March 3, 2009 Share #177 Posted March 3, 2009 Who reanimated this thread then?? Anyway, my A&A 1-day oscar bag or whatever it is called is waterproof and is much better built than anything else I can recall. Meanwhile it also looks used, scruffy and cheap which is good for keeping the thieving sub-species' hands at bay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppyman Posted March 3, 2009 Share #178 Posted March 3, 2009 I have that Domke satchel too. I bought Domke inserts but felt they were the wrong sizes and shapes for M gear. I discovered that you could line it with a Domke lens wrap by adding only two straight velcro strips to the wrap. No other alterations to bag or wrap. The wrap folds into an box shape and its original velcro tabs hold it neatly together. Any standard velcro dividers fit. I used Lowepro. Example shot when I first experimented with how to place the dividers. Its very nice to be able to adjust as you want and the whole thing is less bulky than the padded divider boxes. Perfect for me. Camera with lens fitted, two lens stacks plus small area for cleaning stuff. Cards, spares etc in the zipped flap and outside pockets. Chris and Robert, This is how i use my F-803.

offshore Posted March 4, 2009 Share #180 Posted March 4, 2009 As we are in limbo at the moment waiting for our special delivery packages to be dropped at our doors. The question remains are you ready and where will you put all those precious lenses and bodies into a carrying container to lug around the world or to your local coffee shop to get a cup of coffee. There are many choices out there the shoulder, the sling, the carry all. the backpack, the messenger, the small but buldging bag your afraid to stick a pack of gum in and there always is the brown paper bag. The hundreds of choices and such personal ones at that but this begs the question what bag do you own. Photos would be great So i will start this bag adventure . I bought a Artisian &Artist brand the Image Smith bag from photo village Need a bag for your Leica? Take my ex...:eek: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
