I'm looking for a Domke bag.

 

I need to carry:

3 small lenses[50mm size]

Camera[with lens attached]

Flash, with flash bracket.

Spotmeter

Macro tubes

Filters

Film

 

What one do you recommend?

My F-5XB works with a similar amt. of gear.

That's odd. A single camera (Canon 5D) with small lens and one more lens (plus extra cards and batteries) are a tight squeeze in my F-5XB. I don't have experience with the bigger Domke bags, but I can assure you that an F-5XB is only half as big as you'll need.

<p>Try the newer <a href="http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?

tablename=domke&itemnum=700-30W">F-3X bag</a>, made for larger digital bodies. The

older F-3's are smaller (F-3 fits insides a F-3X). I carry 1-2 bodies, 3-5 lenses and peripheral

equipment and stuff in either of mine.

Scott thanks! For most photography, I just need a spotmeter, a camera with a lens attached,

and 2 other lenses. A flash would be nice. How are the Lowepro vs Domke bags? My local

store stocks Lowepro.

I prefer Domke bags. My original F-3 is about 25 years old and still good, but I also like my

two Lowepro compact and large AW bags, the former for my 4x5 system. The Domke bags

are minimalist for padding (only a bottom hard panel). They are great to save bulk and weight

for street photography. It's great for accessing while standing and shooting and has room for

snacks, hat/gloves, etc. The Lowepro bags are larger heavily padded bags but easier to

organize and more protective of cameras and lenses.

...Domke F-6.

My F-5XB held two M bodies with attached lenses (50 and 35) and four additional (on average, 50 sized) lenses (21/3.4, 40/1.4, 90/2.8 Fat and 12/5.6), two extra rolls of film plus other small/thin items in the pouches. Substituting one body and two or three lenses for the other gear MIGHT work depending how big the other gear is.
