planning to get either that or the hadley large . emailed billingham few months back they said they're in the process of making the billingham hadley large pro . but it won't be out for quite some time so i'll probably get my large/pro on my next trip back to kl. where did you see it btw?

Saw it at international camera service in pertama complex couple weeks back

My best camera bag ever Domke F-2. You will never able to imagine how much equipment this bag can take.

Found this photo online juz to show you guys the size of the bag as compare to our body.



My record, 2 camera with grip, one 50mm, one 17-40mm, one 100mm, two flash gun, and in the one of the side pocket my flash diffuser, lens hood for 17-40, and still have one side pocket left juz to carry my batteries, and one back pocket empty (can be a space for several lens filter, or other flat item. Flip open the top cover, and you'll find a pocket on and behind the top cover big enough to carry memory cards and some flat item.

I've also tried, instead of 50mm and 17-40mm, I stuff one 70-200mm F2.8L IS into the bag and it still fit nice into the bag.

The disadvantage of the bag is that the only zipper on Top cover pocket, there will only be two hooks and Velcro to hold the top cover in place, and the padding is slightly thin. However, these are also the advantages of the bag design. No hassle with zipper when you try to reach out for your camera, and this is one of the reason I'm using it.

Other than this, my former Rezo 190AW have also serve me well in the past not as spaciuos by I will still recommend this bag to those that want a good sling bag with tight budget.

how much did you get it for and where can i find this? looks pretty good

wow i just saw a few reviews on it you can put a lot of stuff in there lol. but the front two pockets look kinda tight though, are they? one of the videos i saw where this guy puts a few batteries in the front pocket and it looked like he had to stretch his hand all the way in to get them out.

and yeah the padding is kinda thin though

I'm not sure where you can find the bag in Malaysia. It's selling around Sgd300 in Singapore if I have not mistaken.

i see it for about RM600 on Shashinki. the Billingham Hadley Pro is about RM150 more than that but will never fit all those stuff though. now that i've seen this bag, becoming even more indecisive haha. its either the Billingham Hadley Pro / Large or this one.

Really RM600 only, then I might have remember wrongly the price.



If possible, you may want to have a look at the actual thing before you buy, cuz there are 3 different material for the same model, waxwear, ballistic and original.

problem with KL is "exotic" bags hard to find . i assume waxwear is waterproof, original is canvas and ballistic is.....bulletproof? lol. which one do you recommend? i'm not really that fussy, as long as the bag is moderately water resistant, feels nice in the hands (and sometimes for me to use as a pillow ).

i'm interested in this one, i like the color a lot . the material looks slightly like swede though, is it?

http://shashinki.com/shop/domke-ruggedwear...acturers_id=102

does it feel very ermmmm bulky to you? it looks slightly bulky like.... fat..? like if i wanna cramp into a myvi with 3 people at the back, will it be hard for me to hold on my lap?

Anybody up for some wickedly awesome bags?


20 years warranty, I kid you not. Because they are THAT certain of their quality.


Don't know if you remember F-Stop producing some pretty sweet outdoor bags. They have employ all that concepts and quality and put it into a casual street use. Here are some of the bags if you peeps are interested



F-STOP MULTIPACK




F-STOP DISTRICT 13




F-STOP STREET PRO




F-STOP BASECAMP




F-STOP MOBILE SLING

New bag.

i have the same one! mine's uprise 45 though . i like the bag a lot actually, don't have too much gear so it doesn't really matter to me that i can't fit a wholeeee arsenal in there. i like and don't like the back padding of the bag though. its too thick and makes it look very bulky lol. but it feels comfortable and if i'm sweating it doesn't absorb into the bag.

The main reason behind choosing Up-Rise 46 was the extra Laptop compartment.

Nice choice...i have the uprise 48...served me well for the past year...

This zipper is very nice, just like those you may found on National Geographic bag and the old Lowerpro bag.

Haha... Not bulletproof, I think they just trying to say that the bag is super durable. For water resistant I think the rug wear/ wax wear version will be the best. As for the size, no complain, it follow me every where, very easy to handle, not a prob to put on your lap.

Glad to hear that, u too made a nice choice..

i saw a few reviews then noticed that to unbuckle the bag it seems to be a hassle. i don't really like the clip . is there velcro on the f-2? other than the clip it seems to be the ideal choice for me .

Added on September 29, 2012, 7:42 pmme too! other than that + the tripod compartment and i can fit a body + lens + grip attached in there. if don't have those features i wouldn't use it . makes me slouch forward a bit to compensate for the heaviness of the bag hurts my back a little after long long hours (especially when travelling)

Bro lintao, ya there is a Velcro besides the buckle, I feel that it is good to have such a secure buckle. What I normally do is to unbuckle the cover when I start shooting and buckle on when I travel around. There is strap holding the buckles, you can tighten or loosen the straps, if the strap is tight it will be more difficult for you to unbuckle. I think that the whole reason for having such a secure buckle is because it doesn't have a zip.

Domke F-10


Inside the bag:
OM-D E-M5 with mounted Pan 12-35 f2.8, Pan 45-175 in the centre and Oly 45 f1.8 with the small flash at the other end.
The front zipper compartment is large enough to hold the batt charger, blower, filters, handphone, etc

hmm ok that's good! cause i thought everytime close need to buckle, then open unbuckle, if its a different kind of buckle then yes why not. if there's velcro then good , imagine if wanna change lens takes like 20seconds or so . cause i think i might have to "do it quick" cause mainly i'm taking photos of planes haha.

btw just ordered my Domke F-2 haha. my friend's dad is a pilot he's flying to new york next week he'll help me get it from bhphoto . hopefully he gets the waxwear one not the canvas one!
