i've been looking high and low for a bag like this one. like any avid photographer, i've owned and have many a camera bag. Nothing quite like this though. I was looking for a bag to carry my Rebel XT, 17-85mm lens attached, sigma 70-200 F2.8 lens, PD70X PSD, 35mm F2 prime lens, batteries, cards, hoods, remote, cleaning gear, and my ipod. just enough stuff to be ready for practically anything. this bag fits the bill, without looking like a techno geeks man purse.

my velocity 5 was being called a purse far too often. a clear sign you need to find a domke. that and i can't fit another lens in the velocity 5.

this bag has very little padding. it is made of heavy canvas. the only padding is on the 3inch width sides and bottom. no padding on the front and back. it does come with one domke lens insert. it's capable of swallowing my sigma snuggly. excellent. the scarce amount of padding gives the bag a very very slim profile. if you're used to having a million padded velcro dividers like a tamrac or lowepro bag, you're in for a shock with this bag. it has practically none. it's domke's way of forcing you to carry less? with this bag, you tend to pack items in small nylon bags, and tossing them into the bottom. i did scavenge one velcro divider from a different bag to hold my slr upright.

like any other camera bag, it won't be perfect for every situation or everyone. but it's perfect for me when i'm running around town.

things you should know:

1) shoulder strap is NOT removeable

2) comes with a domke bag tag

3) the top flap of the bag has a steel or plastic insert to retain the bags briefcase shape when closed.

4) the clasp for the bag is hard to operate, but very strong.

5) extra clasps on the sides of the bag to carry more items.

6) not waterproof by any means

7) bag will probably not stand on it's own if set on the ground.

8) looks nothing, and i mean nothing, like a camera bag. mine is sand colored. gives peace of mind, especially when inside is several thousand bucks worth of camera gear.

While this bag looks great in terms of color, I hated the Waxwear finish. It rubs off on your hands when you touch it and also when you put something in the back slot such as a book or folder, the wax rubs on that. And if you put something that is rubber there, it will ruin that. I put my Apple iPad there with the Apple iPad case, which is black rubber and the wax rubbed against that and ruined it for good.

The inside of the bag does not have the Waxwear finish so you don't have to worry about your equipment there however all of the pockets do have the wax and it can indeed rub off on whatever you place there.

I returned this bag and got a standard canvas one of the same model and am much happier with that.

Best Deals for Domke 701-83B F-803 Camera Satchel -Black

I've included quite a few measurements in this review, since I carefully considered these factors before ordering the bag. My goal: A small, discreet, conveniently designed, well-made bag that would carry my camera gear along with a few small personal items. Mission accomplished with this Domke bag! If you have similar equipment, you'll probably love this bag.

I ordered the optional one-compartment 3 x 6 x 8" insert, and my Nikon D80 SLR with lens attached rides on its back in the insert. The zoom lens is rather large -4" from camera body to filter when fully retracted.

The optional insert made a big difference in my enjoyment of the bag. It's easier to slip the camera in and out, and the camera receives extra protection without the bag becoming too bulky. Also, for some reason, the bag now stands up on its own. Before, it tended to need to be propped up against something.

I stash a flash in the 3 x 4 x 8" insert that came with the bag, but it would be fine for a couple of lenses if you don't mind stacking items. The flash, which is 3-1/2 x 2 x 6-1/2" inches, also fits in one of the front pockets but just barely. I personally wouldn't carry the flash in the front pocket because I prefer the more spacious feel, ease of access and extra protection of the insert, but it's doable.

The two inserts fit well within the bag, but perhaps not perfectly. Together, they might be about 1/2" too long. Perhaps it's by design, but they "fold" just a little. It's not bothersome. They have kind of molded themselves to the shape of the equipment. Domke's inserts are clever, and I appreciate the way you can remove them with contents intact and can remove the individual foam paddings from whatever sides you want.

The bag's pockets have plenty of room to carry small items such as filters, a wallet, a couple of manuals or magazines, etc. There are hooks on each side -handy for carrying an extra pouch for more gear or even lunch. The bag has a plastic bar that runs the length of the top flap; I suppose it helps keep everything in place.

As reviews elsewhere mentioned, the main hook is somewhat difficult to open and close. Domke says this is to make it more pilfer-proof, and it probably does. After I used the bag for a few weeks, either I got used to it or it loosened up a bit. Still, I'd prefer an easier hook and have considered replacing it.

One of the main reasons I chose this particular bag is that it's very discreet. It doesn't look like a camera bag at all, and the Domke logo is hidden under the main flap.

The construction quality and materials appear to be superb. I've owned another canvas Domke bag for about 25 years. It even went through several years of professional use, and it still looks and functions great. It doesn't appear that Domke has scrimped on quality over the years.

Honest reviews on Domke 701-83B F-803 Camera Satchel -Black

This is one of two Domke bags that I own, with the other being the smaller F5-XB. It has the usual excellent construction and attention to detail which is typical of Domke.

If you like bags with two inches of padding and a load of dividers you're looking at the wrong brand. Domke bags are for use...not for storage or heavy duty protection. By keeping the padding to a minimum, Domke keeps its bags small relative to their carrying capacity. This approach also cuts down on weight, which you'll appreciate at the end of the shooting day.

The F-803 comes with a nicely padded interior divider that, depending upon placement, will provide either 2 or 3 spaces in the main compartment. There are also two good-sized front expansion pockets and a "magazine" pocket on the rear. The front flap has two zippered compartments which I find pretty much useless as even a filter is a tight fit.

The flap closure is very secure. So secure that you really need two hands to open it....which can be a nuisance. The usual Gripper strap is provided but, on this model, it's not removable and without swivels. I prefer my bags to have removable straps with swivels, but that's really a matter of personal preference.

I can easily fit either my Nikon D80 or D300 and two or three lenses in the main compartment with a flash and some accessories in the front pockets.

After two years of fairly hard use, mine is still in good condition. I've actually removed the divider and tossed the canvas shell in with the laundry a few times. The canvas has softened over time and the bag now kind of "molds" itself to my side making it very comfortable to carry.

Something that you might want to consider is that, being canvas, this bag isn't even a little bit waterproof. If you shoot in wet environments that could be an issue. There are waterproofing sprays available that might help, but this is most certainly not an "AW" bag.

Every bag is a compromise and this is no exception. However, it does what it's supposed to do and it does it well. If you can live with minimal padding and no waterproofing, you might be a good candidate for owning a Domke.

I have avoided real "Camera bag"s like the plague... they are usually bulky, and scream "steal me." Instead, I used an old WWI vintage US Army Surplus gas-mask bag... It served me well but the canvas started to wear out and my lens collection started to grow. I looked at other messenger bags, but they didn't seem like they would hold my camera securely enough. I was intrigued by the Naneu Pro Sahara 115ยบ but it seemed way too big with the camera insert. The Domke bags seemed to match the aesthetics of my old surplus bag, but they were all way too wide for my tastes.. eventually I found this.

There is a minimal amount of padding, but it is all you really need if you are carrying this on your person... it is not a storage/shipping container. Most camera bags seem to be built for travel and storage, rather than on the fly daily use.

I have the 1-partition insert positioned about a half-inch from the side-wall, and wedge my Rode VideoMic Pro down in there (A speedlight would also wedge in nice). It fits perfect and now there is no excuse for me not to have good sound. In the insert I throw my Nikon 18-105VR down at the bottom (I rarely use it, but it can be a lifesaver where my AI glass won't work) Then I throw my 50mm 1.8 AI-s with HN-7 screw-in hood directly on top of it (the flexible plastic cap I use provides enough cushion between the two). In the rest of the compartment I slide my D7000 with 24 2.8 and HN-3 hood... it rests sideways on the bottom with plenty of space to spare, you could put a zoom lens on the bottom in a lens-wrap and still have plenty of room for the SLR, or wrap a small prime and fit the camera in lens down. (in my setup, the camera fits with the 18-105 mounted sideways with the hood reversed, or lens down with the hood straight)

In the front compartment I have a small filtercase in one with a swiss army knife, and lens cleaning supplies/usb cable/flash diffuser in the other. They use velcro, so are definitely not quiet open if that bothers you, but you can put some tape over the velcro then let the weight of the main flap hold them closed, but they won't be as secure. They are large enough to fit my Nikon FE comfortably without a lens mounted, to give you an idea of their size. They should be more than generous enough for a speedlight or charger, etc

I still don't even use the zipper pouches, but you could easily use them for flash media, info booklets, or other slim-profile stuff.

The strap is really heavy duty, and the slip-resist rubber banding is non-descript, but highly effective. A Hufa Holder just BARELY fits on the strap.

the clips on the side seem just decorative, but I found them great for holding knife/multi-tool belt cases... you can slide the clip through the belt loop and clip it in place. With a Gerber or Leatherman you now have a small toolcase at your disposal... just don't forget to take it off when going out into populated public places (public transit and other downtown institutions are typically not fond of knives), but it can be a lifesaver on private shoots. Anything with a belt loop should hook on pretty well.

The flap is heavy and there is no need to keep hooking/unhooking it if you are taking your camera out very often... when you hook it you can know it is secure. But even with practice it takes a second hand (only a finger or two, though) to guide the loop.

I have had absolutely no problem with the waxwear finish... I love it, it seems slightly more water resistant than normal canvas and looks much more rugged... It really matched the aesthetics of my old surplus bag. I can tell it is getting slowly worn off, but I have slid Moleskines down in the back pouch with no transfer, in the time I used front pouches for my Rode VMP I never got any transfer, and I have yet to see any on my filter case.

The "Leather" case is well made, the strap is wider but flimsier than the fuji factory strap. There was no enclosed literature. Repeated requests to this vendor for to identify the brand have not been answered directly. "They must check with their inventory manager". They don't know what they sent?!! Based upon the hole cutout and stamped" Fujifilm" on the lens cover part of the case, this is seems to be a Protech or possibly an EZ photo case, both of which can be found on Amazon for 19.99. At 59-65 its not a bargain.

Even though this is advertised as a case for the X100 camera it does work fine for the X10 model which is the one I own. The leather is of excellent quality and should last a long time; happy to see that since it is not a low price case! I love that the cover is held in place with a magnet on the bottom and that it just flips open over the front and you can keep the camera in the case to use it. Just remember to put your lens cap in a pocket since there is no way to hold it in the case when operating the camera. Giving it 4 instead of 5 stars due to the lack of any additional storage space though I guess that's what keeps it sleek and fitted to the camera ;p

this armor is exactly what i was looking for. it fits snug and the grip feels amazing. some people think its a little bulky on the camera, but on my D3200 its pretty small in my hands so this protection makes it just right for my hands. didn't use the plastic screen protector as ive heard it tends to fall out alot so i just bought myself a separate screen protector and it works just fine. overall the protection it gives is purely cosmetic and wont really prevent a strong drop, but it does give you good grip to hold that DSLR in your hands.

Super happy to have this as part of my camera protection bundle! It came with the rubber case, 2 screen protectors, and a hard plastic screen protector to go on top of the sticker one. It makes it a lot easier to hold on to, and is thicker than I thought it would be (thankful for the added protection). The only thing that I didnt take into consideration is that it wouldnt fit with my dual battery grip... with a few MINOR alterations, everything fits snug as a bug. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!

After 50 years of using SLRs, often in less than ideal conditions, I was happy to see this protective device was available. Due to the many buttons on the N3200 and the big window in the back, this is a daunting task. Finding the right button by feel has been made more difficult by the "Snug-it," but it's still doable. I put on both of the clear devices to protect the window. The double thickness one is always slipping out of position. But functionally the Snug-it does keep dust and dirt out, and it provides a little cushioning against rough handling, which, in my case, is pretty inevitable. Since the alternative is no protection at all, I would recommend it.

The large works for my Nikon 70-300mm lens. There is some extra room at the top of the bag with this lens, but it's better to have extra room than not enough room.

Great added protection in my backpack (sometimes it is not practical to lug around a camera bag).

Honest reviews on Cosmos Black Large DSLR camera Drawstring Soft Neoprene Lens Pouch

I got this pouch to supplement the inadequate padding in my new Case Logic sling bag's extra lens pocket. The pouch itself was around 1.5" 2" too long for my Canon 70-300mm IS USM lens, but that's not a fault; it's just the dimensions of the bag. Otherwise, the pouch is very well made out of what appears to be cloth covered neoprene. It is reinforced where necessary. The stitching is very neat and sound. The top of the bag is reinforced with some kind of leatherette so the string tie doesn't prematurely wear it out. The tie itself comes with a quality string lock. Lastly, it has a handy hook, as do most others. I'm going to get a medium size pouch now to fit my lens/sling pack situation better, and use this pouch for another lens. You can't beat the price.

PS. It comes with a velcro "cable tie" which I find useless because it can't attach to the cable.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Cosmos Black Large DSLR camera Drawstring Soft Neoprene Lens Pouch

I have a variety of pouches from both Cosmos and the more expensive brand name. There is no major difference in quality, just price. We use them for everything from camera lenses to batteries, tissues, keys, pens, and other small items that can get lost in a bag. So convenient and much better then stumbling through your bag for that item that always gets lost. Also for those items you need close the hook is great because it clips to your belt loop.

Overall would recommend this bag as a great buy and must have for busy people.

If you use Pelican cases for equipment, these dividers are a must. They are great, particularly compared to cut inplace foam. The foam might be ok if you have a few large items, but if you assemble a kit of equipment (maybe 50 items such as camera, video, tape measures, etc.), this is the way to go. Not cheap, but very well made. The Velcro allows you to customize the interior of the case. Comes with a lot of dividers; more than I typically use. The new version seems to be black, compared to the older silver--doesnt matter to me. For me, a large case, like a 1610; the dividers are a must. Great product.

I got the 1610 Case Divider because I have a couple of Pelican Cases that were at one point used for something else so I had custom foam for the previous item. I tried the Pick-N-Pluck but found it very spotty. I don't like how the Pick N Pluck worked and usually ended up accidentally plucking too much and then I was stuck. The Padded Divider was perfect because it's not permanent. Of course it's not as secure and items can move around, but I am using the case to pack random tech / photo items so I didn't want the permanent foam cut outs. It has given new life to a pelican case that was just sitting in my basement.

Pros:

Useful for reconfiguring based on current needs

Cons:

I wish there were different divider lengths instead of just the two types

Seller ensured timely delivery, and packaged very well. The case itself is well made: no frays, mis-stitches, or cheap materials. Comes with a fixed belt loop (not adjustable snap or velcro) and a clip shoulder strap. It doesn't have the padding thickness I anticipated, but not lacking at all.

This case is 2 1/2". I purchased 2, one for each of my 18v L-Ion batteries (for my Hitachi drill). Perfect fit. Now these $50-$60 batteries are protected, I can carry a spare on my belt, and they can store with the tools without fear of damage.

Check the dimensions before purchase; this is a large case. Perfect for my needs. I may buy another to keep with my laptop (wireless mouse case!).

Bought this kit from Amazon three weeks ago.

About the seller: Fast shipping. Arrived on the 5th or 6th business day as promised. Good packaging. I would recommend and buy from again in the future.

Note to the seller: On Amazon, I found the backpack + cleaning kit priced for 69.95 and the back pack, cleaning kit + tripod priced for 69.95. I chose the latter and if this is a price mistake, please correct it.

About the item: The bag is fabulous. It has space for my 15.4 laptop with an extended battery and I was able to fit another netbook in the sleeve compartment. I believe it will fit a 17" laptop perfectly. I carried my Nikon D5100 with a 18-55mm stock lens, a telephoto lens, camcorder, and cleaning kit, along with the power cables and all related accessories. The padding is excellent and the lens as well as the DSLR were well protected. I have not taken it on a hike yet, but I was able to take the backpack on a 24 hr long international flight to India and it met travel requirements by airline. At least no airline asked me to check it in. In fact I carried most of my travel documents as well in this backpack. This should give you an adequate idea of it's capacity. The chest and waist straps are a nice plus and distribute weight well.

There is a rain cover included and the backpack can also be fitted on top of a roll-aboard luggage. There is a sleeve on the laptop which makes it extremely convenient.

Cons:

1. There is a tripod loop as well, but this loop was not effective as somewhere along my journey the spider tripod that was part of this kit fell off. For larger tripods it might be more effective as there is a tripod base pocket included. More on the tripod later.

2. The shoulder adjustment buckle sits exactly at the point below the shoulder ball and socket joint and this might cause some chafing to some people particularly on long hikes. This is a very individual specific con and it might be better for most other people.

For the price, I think this backpack blows away the competition.

Cleaning kit: Not much to say. Hurricane blower + Lenspen. Nice accessory bundle. Fairly comprehensive.

Tripod: I carried this tripod with me because I did not want to carry something larger on a family vacation. This tripod is just a gimmick and it was useful for my camcorder, but definitely not with a DSLR. It is meant for small handheld cameras and camcorders and does not hold up well under the weight of a DSLR. It was definitely useful for my camcorder though. As I mentioned it dropped off somewhere along the way and is not something I will miss for the DSLR.

After about 4 hours of use one day the computer laptop/ iPad compartment zipper failed, It is made in such a way that the zipper takes all the weight of the bag. I had to resort to sewing it closed with heavy duty truing. It still doe not hold the weight right. Total dis appointment. It sits in my closet now.
