Nope you are not going to find them, with their ultra-ridiculous low price at your photo retailer, nor at ebay under any brand or type.

But they are there within a single kilometer from your home, at any bags shop. They are of very clear canvas type with ideal measures, decorated with any kind of logo, insinuating they are intended for women. They are side bags.

Yet take out, or hide, the logo, and you have a potentially perfect Domke type photo gear bag made of highly resistant canvas fabric.

I have bought two of them, at different opportunities, by us$ 10 the single.

The measures are as follows: 27cm wide, 20cm tall and about 10cm depht (well, most of the chances I have made a mess of what is wide,tall, and depht, but with the help of your common sense you will overcome it)

Three or four external pouches are included.

At one of these I have stored two Kievs with mounted Universal Turret Finders, plus six lenses. Almost all of them with original or home hand made cases.

At the other bag I have stored 3 Konicas Auto rangefinders plus an Oly SP - all of them with their respective cases.

Of course that if you, like me, want to ensure yourself that in case the whole bag falls into the floor. your gear will not be damaged - you, like me, will have to pad it a bit inside, remembering that in high contrast to LowePro and other lost manufacturers, there are plenty of padding different materials that are not as thick as Lowe Pro and Co. would like us to believe.

Cheers,
Ruben
