Domke Bags in Washington DC?

[Philipp]

Hello,

a friend of mine is staying in Washington DC for a couple of nights. I wonder if someone could tell me a store where she could find Domke bags, especially the DOMKE F-5XZ (wax wear)? They are really overprized in Germany. Do you have any experience with this bag? I want to use it with two Bessas /lenses, some films etc.

Thank you very much!
Philipp

DOMKE F-5XZ is a great compact bag. Its very well padded and actually carries alot of stuff.

Penn Camera might have some.

Thank you both. According to the penn camera homepage they do not have any domke products. Any more ideas?

 

[david.elliott]

I'm out of ideas then 😛

I did buy a domke gripper strap at the local Penn in Maryland so ... they do carry some domke products. Silly webpage.

Penn definitely carries the Domke Gripper straps, but perhaps they don't carry the bags.

Try Pro Photo on I ("Eye") St. (@ 19th).

Yeah, their grippers dont show up in a search of the site either though. I'll just call penn for you Philipp - once they open of course.

Update: I called them and they carry domke's line of straps, but NOT the camera bags. Sorry. :|

David, thank you very much for calling penn camera just because of my thread here! Too bad they don't carry domke bags.

furcafe, do you know if pro photo has a homepage or email-adress? I couldn't find proper information on google.

Not exactly DC, but I used to check out this place in Virginia called Ace Camera. They had a really good selection of Leicas, etc. You might want to check them out. http://www.acephoto.net/

Another place that had more "traditional" gear was called Dominion Camera, in Falls Church. http://www.dominioncamera.com/

Hope that helps!

You could order online and have it delivered to where ever you're staying

I don't think Pro Photo is on line (they are a small, old-fashioned, family-owned shop). Just call them or have your friend call them: +1-202-223-1292
