Domke F5XB and Rolleiflex FW

[whitecat]

I use a Rolleiflex FW and a Contax G2 with an extra lens. Will this all fit with a little room for film?
Any experiences? Anyone use the belt feature?
Thanks,

I just want to say I admire your Polaroid work, stunning.

Q: you have all those cameras (listed in your sig)?

 

[whitecat]

Thanks, Dan. Actually I have about 6-8 more cameras than that. I have to update that sometime.

It's a great bag, my most used. But I haven't used it with a Rolleiflex. (It can fit an M with lens attached, plus two additional lenses.)

Thanks, Ramosa. I think it will fit since I checked the dimensions but I have to carry a 35mm with me too. I really am looking at it as a daytripper.

What???? :bang::bang::bang::bang:

I' m using it for Rolleiflex GX, that's close to FW. But I have no Contax G2 in it.
Rollei occupies abt 2/3 jf it and small compartment is used for film, polarizer and shade.
But I can say that film (3-5 rolls) can be easily put between the bag's soft insert and the bag, leaving place for G2 probably.

The taller and deeper F3X might be a better fit for a Rolleiflex plus a G2 and film for both.

Note the dimensions on the web catalog page.

Thanks for the informative replies.

Its pricey, but the new Billingham 2.8 bag is deeper and fits the bill for my rolleiflex with room enough for another 35mm camera, extra lens, hoods, film, and filters. And its comfortable to carry across the body or hanging on your shoulder. Check it out - a great day trip bag.

Yep, I just tried it, and it fits, both standing up and laying down (though not at the same time). 🙂 And there is room left over for the Contax with a not overlarge lens. A second lens may fit in the remaining compartment. Don't expect much room for film! Well maybe a roll or two.

Well I have put two pictures of what I usually put in the bag:

• Minolta Autocord
• Gossen Pilot
• Rolleinar close-up lenses
• Hood
• a few rolls of films

To get an idea of scale, I also included a Yashica Electro 35 and a Gossen Lunalux
It is possible to put a TLR vertical and then a small rangefinder will fit also but the zipper would be rubbing against the top of the TLR.
I found the horizontal more convenient.
BTW the belt is just a standard army belt, nice and wide to carry the bag around my waist.
BTW I am pretty much drooling over my keyboard over the FW...

Cheers,

Luc

Yes, that's exactly the way I use it with Rollei

Thanks for all the useful info. That's what makes this forum fun.

I use that bag with a Rolleiflex E2 and a prism finder. Good fit, room for 3-4 rolls, but that's it, no more room for small 35mm cam.
