Nice camera, Joe!
How about a shot of the Domke bag. Sounds like it might be the perfect size for me, but I need to see it with a camera for scale....
Cheers!

Yeah, the strap is great, isn't it? I haven't cut the tags off my 2 Domkes; dunno why, just lazy I guess. The small one, like yours, will go with me tomorrow to NOTL and Guelph and back.

i'm lucky as it's always been my door.

i'm glad you were smart enough to know what door to look for.

I live at 105 Red Oak and they delivered to 105 Old Oak...... around the corner and about 4 doors away. They've delivered my packages there before so it wasn't too difficult to peg where it was. I sometimes get their mail too.

Anyway, I'm glad you got your lens and I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures taken with it. That's one sweet-looking outfit you have there, Joe.

Not to hijack Joe's thread or anything 😛 , but I just got a Domke F5X bag (olive, close to half-list)
I'll be damned if I can find the "seven compartments" that the manufacturer mentions. http://www.tiffen.com/domkecat08.htm
Thin pocket on the front, three vertical pockets inside and one long thin one right next to them, also under the weather flap. Nothing in the flap or on the back like most other Domkes.
It has also the usual Domke label, 'Made in USA' label, luggage tag etc plus a nice gripper strap, so it isn't a knockoff.
This one is olive and came from Ace Photo & Digital via Amazon's Web search.
It's a nice bag. Does just what I want it to. But there ain't seven compartments that I can find.

Joe: The Tiffen description is just plain wrong. The F-6 has 7 compartments as supplied new, so I think some descriptions got placed incorrectly with the product titles and photos.

Joe B, maybe that explains the good price! 🙂 (a few compartments short of a full compliment)

That's one of the nicest looking cameras I've seen... period. I guess I just haven't looked at anything that's made after the very early '80's, and mostly much before.

In that neat little bag, a super outfit. Makes me almost start thinking about owning one. Broke is such a dull, offensive word. :bang:

That's a nice bag. I went with the F-803 in tan. Bigger, but it looks like a generic satchel, and I can stash the powerbook in the rear sleeve for meetings.

Oh, and the lens is kinda cute, too.

i have the larger mclassic bags when i need something bigger.

after a few hours this morning of using the 25 and the domke, i only have good things to report. have not souped the film yet, just got in, but that wide angle is just plain fun and i found i was MORE comfortable moving in closer for a shot. the bag is perfect for this use also, one camera, 2 lenses + film. it's so small and light that i didn't notice it was there and the strap is very nice.
it will be a great bag for when we get to shed the winter coats also.
