You keep using that word "pro." I don't think it means what you think it means.
My decades-old Domke has been my go-to bag for years, but I wanted a smaller version that would fit in my motorcycle top box. This one claims to hold a pro dslr with a zoom attached, but that depends on how you define "pro." The padded square does not accommodate a gripped D500. Nor do the other padded sections accommodate lenses of modern girth. I removed the Domke inserts and used some leftover pads from other bags to make the bag work. It's sub-optimal, but so is every other bag and backpack I own. And I own quite a few. Even so, the Domke bags really work for my run-and-gun assignments, and I expect to use this one for decades to come.

A Bag For A Revolution
I used this bag for two years in Egypt and Ethiopia. The primary attributes were that it's tough, low-profile, and the 'sand' color helped make it appear less threatening for a variety of reasons. I did cut the center clasp off to be able to pop the top open faster to change lens. For field work and photo-journalism it proved excellent, camera body, two zooms, a couple of batteries, you're set!

A bag for life.
Will use daily due to its strong construction and good looks.

Outstanding bag for monster digital gear
This bag holds an amazing amount of gear. Right now a Canon 5D with a 24-105 F4 zoom attached, a 70-200 F4 zoom, three 580 flashes, battery grip, camera-flip for tripod, all cables, CF cards, manuals, flashlights, notecards & pens,other odds and ends. And it's smaller than my vintage Domke bags that I have used for the last 25 years. This is a complete setup (except for tripod) for the theater and dance photography I do. Since I mainly work indoors I do not need weather protection, but I do need quick access in the dark. My only complaint is that the clip ring for the cover strap is at the very bottom of the bag and quite awkward to work.

Domke Delivers
This is the second Domke bag I have owned--among a half dozen other brands. My first Domke, a larger bag, I have given to my son: these bags only get better with age. No other bag comes close to the utility and smart design of Domke. Last year I made a mistake and bought a Billingham (very expensive)camera bag and was disappointed from the start compared to the Domke I had given away! So I bought another Domke and won't use anything else.
