It seems that most photographers suggest Domke or Lowepro bags whenever an inquiry comes up for a recommendation. Why is Tamrac almost never suggested? I now have several different Tamrac bags which seem well equiped to carry and protect my gear. All of them were purchased at camera shows or on Ebay for a fraction of the cost new. I have one Lowepro and while it is a nice bag, I fail to see a material difference from the qualities of the Tamrac in a similiar size. What am I missing?
