Product Description
Color: Brown
Like your favorite pair of jeans, Domke bags get better with age and with the new Domke Ruggedwear collection you don’t have to wait. The fabric produces a unique distressed and weathered look right from the start. The Ruggedwear classic bags feature high-quality, weather-tough, durable cotton canvas that is treated with special non-solvent waxes to afford the fabric a lifelong resistance to inclement weather. The special formula allows the fabric to breathe while the waxes produce a unique, timeless, weathered, distressed patina finish. By using the included refinishing oil, bags can be restored to its original finish quickly and easily. Resized to fit today's digital SLR's, but still deceptively compact, this is the bag to grab when the assignment doesn't call for dozens of pieces of equipment. No space wasted, because the inside and outside dimensions are nearly identical. The result is a very inconspicuous camera bag that carries a surprising amount of gear. Includes removable, padded partition wall, adjustable non-slip Gripper™ Strap with durable cotton webbing, removable hand carrying strap, YKK zippers, and steel snap hook Ideal For: 1 Pro SLR, 2-3 lenses, pro flash and accessories. Exterior Dimensions: 15"W x 7"D x 9"H; Interior Dimensions: 9.5"W x 6"D x 9"H.

Gotta love Domke products. I've owned a Domke over ten years (the smaller satchel model) and it looks as good as new. Needed something that could accomodate my new k10-d and attachments so I got the F-3x.
As the other reviewer said, I'm not giving this one five stars simply because the 'floor padding' could be just a tiny bit bigger. Not so much in thickness, but in coverage (it could be bigger).
This bag will accomodate a large slr with a medium/large zoom, two more lenses and there is still space for a few more gizmos like flashes, user manual, etc...

I wish I owned one of these ten or even twenty years ago. This bag is as close to perfect as I've encountered. Construction is solid, the canvas is reasonably durable. I waterproofed it with a spray-on product from a local camping/outdoorsman's shop.
The best thing about this bag, though, is the size. Not too big, not too small. It is perfect for my Nikon D1x (F5-size) with lens, an additional lens or two, both spare batteries, SB-28DX flash, my Linux subnotebook, several compact flash cards, and lens cleaning kit.
With some cramming, I have been able to squeeze an F100 camera body in as a film backup, but this is not a comfortable fit for the bag. I have a larger bag for when I need more gear, though.
This bag is perfect for light-to-medium travel. In other words, most of the time.
Cheers!

I really like this bag. It doesn't scream "I'm a camera bag with expensive stuff in me!" It has a really subdued look and, from what I have experienced so far, it's also quite durable. I would have possibly added some padding to the bottom of the bag for a bit of cushion, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

I have several camera bodies and lenses, but when I go out to shoot, I often like to travel light and take only one body and two lenses I expect to use. I got this bag because I like the easy access and the material (waxed canvas) and durable construction. It is easily accessable, has roomy side pockets for extra cards, cables, lens cleaning items, etc., and is made with quality materials and excellent construction. The only improvement I would like to see is more rigidity. When I have my camera with lens attached and an extra telephoto in the main compartment, the bag sags more than I like. I did add some corrugated panels of plastic in the bottom of the bag and in the back pocket to give more rigidity.

This is a wonderful bag for an SLR body, 2 or 3 lenses and accessories. Canvas has a great look and feel. Construction is top-notch and it handles great. The famous Gripper strap is nice. The only minor complaint is that velcro is used for the pocket enclosures, which can be too noise in certain situations.

at one time i started buying bags and changing them like underwear, i ended up with this one, and hugged it.
construction is top notch, great quality sewing and hardware used.
what i like about it most is that
- it looks like leather , but is is'nt
- it starts off big, but when loaded up, a few pats here and there and it gets small.
- when you take your camera out it gets even smaller,
- camera draw speed is as fast as the west
- it has 8 compartments, so every one has their own space
Padded bags are great for storage and transporting gear, but only a Domke bag give you the freedom of movement

We all have lots of camera bags, as there never seems to be right bag for everything. This one comes pretty close! I got this one used, I've had it for 3 years, and it's held up well.
No, it's not padded except for the bottom (which is good enough). It's a great bag for day to day use, it's easy to get in and out of, and it will expand or contract depending on what you put in it. The lack of padding makes it nice, once you take the camera out and have it in your hands (where it should be), the bag shrinks to your side, out of the way. It carries very nicely as the absence of padding allows it to mold to your body, much more comfortable than a rigid padded rectangle. I got a 19 inch domke wrap and folded that to make a sort of holster to drop my SLR with lens attached into inside the bag. This adds enough padding without sacrificing bulk or durability. Since the lens pockets are behind the side pockets, they already have enough padding. I carry a couple of plastic shopping bags (for emergencies, such as extreme downpours, although yet to get anything wet in this bag uncovered, but haven't been in a monsoon eiteher). The shopping bags can be stuffed in the bottom of the side pockets to pad the bottom. I carry a handkerchief in the small back pocket, helps to keep any gear I keep in the back of the bag from sticking my hip if it is oddly shaped (not common for me to carry something that causes this problem).
I use this all the time, it's my main bag. Otherwise, I am probably working from a backpack that is not photo dedicated. I use it for weekend trips too, since I can remove "extra" gear if I just want the camera/lens and a few personal effects, the bag will shrink to this size. This is a bag for using, not checking your gear on an airplane!... Read more ›

Quick shipping, great deal
My camera bag for Olympus OM-D.
I have it with three lens. After putting them all, there still a lot of space to put my wallet and cigaratte in.
Convenient and look good. Read more

Nice camera bag for around town but not for travel.
I like this bag and have been around the world with it. However, don't expect much protection from it as there is no padding on the sides or top. Read more

Could use a little more padding
Good padding on the bottom, but could use a little more on the sides... Only a thin layer of canvas protects from bumping into car doors, posts, railings, etc... Read more
