Re: Suggestion for Domke F-6

I have the Domke F-6. It can handle 2 M4/3 bodies and 4 lenses and a flash and spare batteries, memory cards and filters, and one or 2 owner's manuals.

I like this generous capacity because I can pack everything in it for travel, then remove the heavier items (flash, 2nd body, owner's manual.. for example) when walking around.

I looked at the F-6 and I can also say that it is a very nice bag with a generous capacity. It was a bit big for what I wanted but it is definitely on my list for when I need something a bit larger.

One suggestion to improve the F6: Add a large velcro patch to secure the cover without using the 2 snaps. A velcro patch is secure enough to keep your goodies from falling out, and the snaps are a royal PITA. I had this done by a local seamstress for $10.

I love stuff like this because it nicely illustrates the concept of different strokes for different folks: I specifically looked at the F-6 and bought the F-803 because they DON'T have velcro. I like the hook/clasp system because it is silent...velcro is noisy and always draws attention when shooting discretely. This is why variety and choice is a wonderous thing :-D.
