Really a great, non conspicuous bag. That holds what I need.

I bought to carry Plaubel Makina 670 and rolls of film. It works well and the camera seams well protected

I really do love this bag. It's been a struggle to find a good looking bag that doesn't look like a camera bag. One that is not too big and bulky; this one just fits my Fuji w lens attached, plus 2 other lenses. I can't fit anything else in (like my battery charger), but for an on the good bag it's great.

From the first moment of handling it, it's obvious that this bag is very well made. The quality of the material from the cloth to the clasps on the strap provide confidence that this bag can answer the one request I have of it: to hold and carry my camera safely. When only using one camera, I found that carry a whole camera backpack was overkill, and throwing a single camera over my shoulder and carry it with me throughout the day made me stand out more than I would like, especially when not using it. This bag solved that problem. I still use film cameras, and because Pentax made some of the smallest, you could fit two cameras ie. an MX and ME Super in this bag easily, or a Leica R4 and one of the Pentax cameras with a little rearrangement of the divider. But for my day to day shooting my R4 and film carry perfectly in this. Unlike some shoulder bags, I find this one to carry the weight very well, and is comfortable to carry over long periods of time. The padding on every side except the bottom is light duty, but since it sits against my side so well, I am not to worried about it being knocked around too much.

unassuming bag, especially since i removed the domke label on the outside. fits a micro 4/3 camera perfectly with enough room left over for a couple of lenses and a audio recorder. gotta doctor up the velcro cuz its just too much. other than that its perfect

This Domke is a little on the small side, but I knew that going into the purchase. For me, it fits my D700 with a lens attached and one small/lens.. for instance I use this often with the D700+50mm f/1.4 attached (Off-brand) and also the 35mm f/2. When I don't use this to carry my camera, I will put three speedlights in there and their triggers kinda like a 'speedlight kit'.

This is a nifty bag that protects my KR. It seems to be really durable but a bit of a lint magnet.

This is a great bag for casual photographers and general enthusiasts who don't carry much extra gear. It'll hold a Nikon D3000 (or similar) resting on its side with its kit 18-55mm lens attached, as well as an extra 50mm lens and an SB400 (or similar sized gear), but not much else. It sits comfortably on one's hip or side, but keep in mind that the bag is truly quite small -- for those taller than, say, 5'7 or heavier than, say, 150lb, it might start to look a little ridiculous. Contents are well-secured by padding on front, back, and bottom, as well as both a single top zipper and velcro'ed top flap. Two included partitions allow for flexible set-up of side padding. The heavy canvas material seems hard-wearing and likely to age well, but will only go so far if one's caught in the rain for an extended period of time. A key pro: it looks less like a camera bag than many others on the market, which may be appealing to some for any number of reasons. Given its intended purpose, can't think of many cons. The velcro on the top flap is a little on the excessive side, which means it's very secure but noisy. Not a major issue unless silent operation is desired (easiest fix: tape over some or all of the velcro, leaving only what's needed). The combination of velcro'ed flap and zipper is also a bit overkill, although again, not a major flaw unless fast access is essential. Also, the bag has only two pockets, which given its size wouldn't be a con if the second one were better designed. The first pocket is internal, and is formed by the space between the front padding and the front canvas. It runs the length of the bag, and can be used to stow extra memory cards, filters, etc. The second also runs the length of the bag, and is built into the front of the bag (protected by the flap). Less useful since the top of the pocket can't be closed, which creates a risk that contents may fall out by accident. All in all, an excellent choice for prosumer-types who want to carry around their compact DSLRs and change for the day in a low-profile, no fuss package.

Whenever go out I choice 2 lenses. This F-5XB is very suitable for carring my K10D and 2 zoom lenses (Tamron17-50,Pentax50-135). I stand straight camera with Tamron zoomlens and stand Pentax zoomlens straight beside it. Nobody knows I carry camera because the bag is so casual and cute. I satisfy this bag very much.

Very nice day bag but just a little tight. Another inch in each direction would be great. I have a DSLR with a medium zoom lens and it is too tight to include the sun shade if I also carry a flash unit.

This is my manual bag: it carries an FM2N, 4 primes, plus a flash. (Yes, not much room for film, though.) A few filters and a cable release, and a GorillaPod SLR tucked under the flap. Take away the GorillaPod and it looks like a messenger bag, which suits me fine.

Nice small bag for carrying around my D40 with lens attached. A little extra room for wallet, cell phone, keys, and external flash. Not much room for anything else. I like how inconspicuous it is - not big, black, and bulky like so many other camera bags. It feels like a purse. The velcro is very sturdy, but noisy to open/close. The worst part is the zippers (again, very sturdy) are metal and jangle jangle jangle when you're walking. Overall, though, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

This is a nice compact bag for carrying around a DSLR, a few small primes, and a flash. Alternatively, a DSLR, w/zoom lens, and flash. Of course, also some memory cards, batteries, pen/pencil, small notepad, etc. About the only complaint I have is the zipper is just a horizontal slash (does wrap around the sides a bit though), which can make it slightly harder to get things out of the ends. Seems like it would be easier with more of a lid-type zipper. Also, it's a bit lacking in small pockets. Aside from the places to put camera, lens, etc, there is only one external pocket and one internal pocket. Both cover the entire width of the bag, so it's hard to keep things organized in them. Neither have their own closure, so if the bag gets tipped over small things in the external pocket could fall right out, and ones in the internal pocket could get mixed up with the lenses and such. All that aside, it's comfortable, lightweight, inconspicuous, and pretty much the perfect size for a day trip around town, visiting museums, etc. Just looks like a normal smallish shoulder bag, doesn't scream camera bag at you.

I bought this as an everyday carry all with an emphasis on camera gear. I use it to carry my Ricoh GRD II, the wide angle converter and viewfinder so I can have a camera on me where ever I go. There is plenty of room for other things such as keys, wallet, ipod, Nintendo DS etc. I find that the bag is very soft and easy to wear. It will even hold my Nikon D300 with a lens or two. I managed to fit it with the 18-200 VR attached and an SB-800. The D300 is wider than the bag but because the bag is pliable, it fits without a problem. My only complaint is that the zipper pulls clang together which can make noise but of course that's a minor quible.

This is a great little bag for one DSLR and possibly two lenses. It is a very well made bag with sturdy canvas. The interior is well cushioned. The front flap hooks on to the bag with Velcro, which can get noisy when opening. But I prefer it to be noisy, that way I know if someone is opening my bag when my attention is elsewhere. At first I was put off by the plastic zipper. But I soon realized the plastic is intentional so that it would not damage your photographic equipment. All in all, I am very pleased with this bag.

A great bag for the price. It's perfect for one SLR or DSLR, a lens, film if you need it, and some accessories.
