Driftwood 7605 camera bag?

[rlouzan]

Any 7605 Driftwood owners? Looks similar to the Domke J803 at 1/2 - 2/3 the price.
Better than the Safrotto copy?

I use it since summer 2008, as my daily and camera bag. Solidly made, doing just fine so far.

In before "buy American" or "boycott Chinese copies."
That bag looks good... Anyone think it comes from the same factory as the Safrotto or Domke?

Eugene,

Where did you buy it, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks,

Hi,

It looks almost the same, except for more zippers. Don't know about the canvas fabric ...

Robert,

Just found one on eBay back then, was about $70 with delivery to Norway. Fabric is good and fixtures are all metal and seem to be lasting. The only damage so far is a tear near zipper when I squeezed two notebooks into the expandable pocket on the side. Not really the bag's fault though 😱

I can take a snapshot tomorrow of what it looks like after 2.5 years of use.

Ok,

Here's how the exterior looks like. Mind you it had a few washes, so faded somewhat:

Here's the inside

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for posting the pictures🙂. Just purchased one for 38 Euros (including S&H), should be here by the end of the week. I'll post a link to the EU store latter.

Regards,
