i found tat a tad too small. :think:

:bsmilie: after looking at night86mare's reply.. i had decided to do a tryout myself to see if it is really possible to fit that amount of stuff into the F3x.. the result?

:sweat:

Centre Main compartment:
30D + BG-E2, 135 f2L (left, no hood), 70-200 f2.8L IS (below 30D with hood), 10-22 f3.5-4.5 (right, no hood), 35 f1.4L (right, hidden underneath, no hood)

Front small compartment:
2x 77mm filters, 1 lenspen

Right Side compartment:
Metz 54-MZ4i flash

Left Side compartment:
wireless remote, microfibre cloth, foam DIY bounce card, Gorillapod SLR and blower (all not shown in picture)

it is NOT practical to carry all of the above even though they can be fit into the bag..

and this was my previous configuration (which i found it still bearable in weight, YMMV)

the heaviest i tried?
main compartment: 30D+Grip+17-40L (attached), + 50 1.4 and 85 1.8 (stacked) + 135L (barely fitting inside the divider slot) + GF LS II
side pocket: 580EX (1 side) + a small story book
small compartment near buckle area: 2 CPLs + blower + lens pen

Hmm...bro I still say try out the F-4AF. It is noticeably bigger than the F-3X. Bring your stuff to Cathay and try to fit your stuff in.

Ooh I see.

I'm not sure if John 3:16 can bring in Domkes. I remember a friend ordering a J1 from them before...not sure if they can bring in other models. That said, I'd be quite paiseh if they brought it in and I found that I can't fit in the gear that I want to. :bsmilie:

 

[Old Man Lee]

U can order from Orient Photo. Need to wait at most a week for the Domke to come.

[n0v1cE]

old man lee, is the pricing competitive at orient?

 

[NorthernLights]

I just received the Domke F2 black original. Ordered the shoulder strap, backpack strap and another anti slip waist belt. All for SGD260.

This is the price of only the bag itself at Cathay!

Significantly cheaper?

 

[simplicitee]

I just bought the domke f-1X from ebay.

price is at SGD$230 with shipping.

Didnt notice the F-804 before on the website. If i did, i may give it some due consideration instead!

But just a question, I know Domke beats lowepro in terms of durability of the material used. But what about padding? It doesnt appear to have that much padding as compared to lowepro.

Any good & SAFE water resistant spray for these canvas Domke bags (which you have personally tried) ? Thank you.
