It does not work well as a camera bag. I was using it for my R8. I had trouble storing the camera and three lens. The bag frustrated me to no end. For example, I would put film in the flaps, which, in a Domke, would lay flat. They didn't in this bag. I have used Domkes, Tenbas, Tamracs, and Billinghams. This bag is now sitting unused and unloved. My recommendation -- examine it in person before using it. Steven A.
