Domke's larger satchels don't have velcro for camera inserts (and they're not a great fit for any of my gear either), and the F-803 is too small for my tastes. But a Reporter satchel with maybe Tenba's (far better) inserts may be dynamite. As I still have the rotted remains of my Domke, I will see how good the fit is. The Tenba satchel suffers from a bit TOO MUCH padding, a lame film pouch, and an organizer section that isn't real helpful with photo gear. But rugged, oh yeah--I won't be astonished if it outlasts the canvas Domke and Billingham bags by a factor of 2. The basic Domke design pads the individual compartments from one another, and between you and the gear, and this works very well indeed. I have fallen on this bag, dropped it,and whacked it into hard surfaces, yet my gear looks great! Jeff > << Can anyone recommend a good carrying case for a M system with 2 or 3 prime > lenses.
