Real improvement. Yes, the padding isn't that great and the sections are too flexible, but it's better than the 802, except for the bottom panel. (Don't drop the bag on the floor. By doing that I bent the take-up spool knob on my M4-P inside and had to bend it back again while sweating about whether it would break. Fortunately, it didn't.) Unlike the 802, the 806 has a free-swinging, detachable strap that doesn't get twisted and can be replaced. Like the 802 it doesn't look like a camera bag. Recently, on a trip home to Philadelphia, I had in there my laptop, M4-P, two lenses, and Nikon FM2n and lens with room to spare. Old Adam Domke was a staff photographer on the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin before it went broke. I think he must really know his stuff. Regards, Bruce Feldman
