I just received my Domke F-10. I was looking for a bag that looked good, wasn't too large, and would carry my XTI, with either two additional lenses or one lens and my 550ex Speedlight flash. This bag looks like a winner. Compact, clean-looking. Looks well built.
The bag comes with a non-removable long shoulder strap, a detachable medium strap and a built in hand-grip strap on the top of the bag. The bag has two velcro dividers in the main compartment. My XTI fits nicely in the middle of the main compartment, with the 75-300 lens attached, pointing down. The handgrip overlaps into one of the outside compartments, but still leaves room in that outside compartment for my 17-50 lens.
The other outside compartment is large enough for another extended zoom lens. There are two zippered pockets on the bag, a very large one on the outside, large enough for a point/shoot camera, batteries, filters, cards. That pocket is 10" at the top, 6" at the bottom and 6 1/2" tall. Expanded, it is 2" deep. The other pocket is in the flap of the bag. It is not very deep, and doesn't appear to all that useful. With the flap 'up', and the zipper open, items in this pocket will fall out, as all of the storage room is above the zipper.
The main flap of the bag is secured in a locked position by both a very large velcro strip, and a metal clip. The velcro is very loud when opened. I'll probably have my wife sew some cloth around most of the velcro to limit the strength of that connection.
I like the metal clip it looks like it will last much longer then the normal plastic clips on most bags.
Likes about the bag: Looks, size, workmanship.
Dislikes about the bag: The velcro closure is too noisy

I, like many others it appears, have purchased and returned an unbelievable amount of camera bags in my first 3 years of DSLR photography. However, after just receiving this Domke F-10 (olive) and loading it up, I believe I have ended my search for the perfect bag for my current photo kit. It obviously won't be ideal for everyone, but the following is what I am able to comfortably fit into the bag and access quickly and easily:Nikon D5100 with Nikon 16-85mm lens attached, with hood (not reversed).
Nikon 70-300mm lens (not attached though, hood reversed)
Nikon 35mm F/1.8
Nikon SB400 Flash (in protective case)
Battery charger
Spare AA's for SB400
Spare camera battery
LensPen & cloth
SD cards
Lens filters
Various other small random items
To make the velcro a little quieter, I attached a 5" piece of non-adhesive velcro in the middle of the strip on the bag. The velcro on the flap now only connects at the ends of the strip. Much less noisy and is easily removable if I change my mind later.
If you carry a kit similar to what I've described above, I think you'd be happy with this product, in the color of you preference of course.

I bought this camera bag for my new Olympus e-620 body and two lens kit Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP Live MOS Digital SLR Camera with Image Stabilization and 2.7 inch Swivel LCD w/ 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 and 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Zuiko Lenses. The bag holds the body with one lens attached, the second lens, plus the battery charger and a spare battery. Domke bags are very well made. I spent a little more on this bag than I was planning to, but it is worth every penny.I treated the bag with Tectron water repellent. After I treated the bag, I let it air out for a day or so until the solvent smell dissipated. Now I have well-designed, rugged, and water repellent bag that is perfectly sized for my camera and lenses.
