domke shoulder pad is $28..i just got it today..haha..crumpler is around 25 or 26 i think...comfirm 20+..but it wouldn't look fitting on a domke leh..both different style..get the domke la..its not bad..it has similar effects with the normal strap, its still rough..but what i like is that the padding that comes into contact with your body is slanted..cause when you stand normally your shoulder will slope down towards your shoulder rite..?so i guess the padding is design for that..but it is a bit ex la definitely..haha

strange. i got quoted a $3x price for the shoulder pad.. :think:

but honestly, i dont find the strap slipping off my shoulder, just that i thought it could had some sort of cushion, as its quite rough.. :sweat:

Hi,
late reply, but i just saw this thread.
I've a J-3 and based on what you have listed, they will fit, but it'll be a tight fit. I 'mod'ed' my J-3 with 3rd party inserts to give me more dividers. Off the shelve, the J-3 only has 4 dividers, so it'll be a bit of a stretch.
Main body, grip and one lens attached should fit together as a unit, and the extra lens, PnS, flash can take up the rest of the main compartment.
Rest of kit in side pockets.
Get a J-2. You'll like the extra space I think.

In the end, I bought a J-1 for those days that I want to bring everything along...

OK, these are my likely gear for a short day trip (eg: a short hike):

1. Oly E-1 with 14-54mm
2. ZD 40-150mm
3. PnS
4. FL-50 (optional)

For a photoshoot trip, the above plus:
5. Grip and battery
6. Old RF
7. ZD 50mm

So can J3 carry all (#1-7)? I think J2 should be no problem.

Thanks.

Agreed that there's no 1 bag that's perfect for all occasions. Now more or less decided to get the F-3X because the size meets my needs most of the time; don't like to lug a big bag around. Also like the classic canvas look. J-2 can wait for a while.

Thanks for the good feedback, guys.

Another question,

So do you think I will need the shoulder pad for F-3? Thought of ordering it together to save on shipping.

Thanks.
