semi-ambivalent
Little to say
Not wanting to step on the current bag poll I was thinking that bags might be broken out into three broad categories: Bag, satchel and luggage. I carried a Domke F2 for a couple decades. Even after I stopped shooting a lot with Nikon I still carried one when I traveled, not because I still carried a lot of gear but because it made a nice purse. A newspaper, rainshell, some papers, food, water bottle, film and some Nikkor lenses. It always fit everything.
Now it's an MP and I can't find a Domke product that really works for me. Maybe three (little) leica lenses, 10 rolls of film and some odds-'n-ends; small, like filters. The ol' F2 is too big for this amount, the F-3X might be perfect if it was thinner, the F-5Xb is a nice Leica size but doesn't hold much when traveling and the 80x satchels are too long, too wide, too deep and feel too briefcase-y (well, duh).
With a camera on my neck every bag says "cameras!" so I've stopped caring about that pseudo-benefit. Would someone tell me what I want? I'd sew Domke inserts into a gym bag if it worked and was durable.
and thanks,
s-a
