Domke FX-5B Size?

[Bobfrance]

Hi folks,

I could do with a new camera bag and have been considering the Domke FX-5B. I've held back on purchasing one as I have a slight concern that it may be too small and I am yet to see one in real life.
Does anyone have any shots of the aforementioned bag with a camera or anything that would give me an indication of it's size/capacity?

Many thanks,

Bob.

I bought one of these recently and I'm already a fan ... I can fit two 35mm RF bodies with lenses (35 and 50) fitted and still have space between them for another lens or something similarly sized.

Here's a pic I took with my Bronica RF645 with 65mm in the bag with a 100mm lens in there as well! 🙂

That looks like a pretty handy size. If it will swallow a Bron then it should have no problems with my Hexar, 2-3 lenses and a P&S (and maybe a buttie).


Cheers Keith!

Bob.

I too have this 'man-purse'. Currently, the following are carefully packed into it (but not to the point of being too tight);

M3 w/ 50mm 2.8 elmar (collapsed)
M6 w/ 28mm 2.8 ZM
R-D1s w/35mm 2 ZM + 2 spare batteries
Either (50mm 2 Summicron and 3 rolls of film) or (Ricoh GRD w/ viewfinder & 2 spare batteries)
Plus room for spare SD card(s), pen, small notebook, spare batteries for the M6, cleaning cloth, & business cards.
Nothing more

This config was derived from a number of iterations... but I am happy with that. No loose bits moving around. The whole config weighs 3.5 kg (on the solid/heavy side if you sling it on your shoulder for an extended period of time). Otherwise, a very small and compact kit.

Impressive!

That should be plenty big enough for me.

Anyone got one they want to sell, before I go looking on the bay?
