When it comes to photo bags, preferences vary. But no matter what bag I’ve tried so far, my main shoulder bag has remained the same over the last four years: The Domke F-4AF. It’s very versatile, extremely well put together and in typical Domke-style, it shows that attention was paid to every single aspect of the bag.
Don’t be fooled by it looking rather small; let me assure you that this bag holds more than you would expect. Its interior consists of one bigger and two smaller departments. To illustrate what you can store in the bag, let’s just look at what’s in mine:
In the bigger department, the Canon Speedlite EX420 flash is placed on the bottom, followed by my Canon EOS 5D with the 24-105/f4L mounted on it. This way, I can just grab the camera by the lens, pull it out and be ready for action.
One of the two smaller compartments holds my Canon 50/1.8 as well as the 70-300/f4.5-5.6 DO IS, whereas the other one houses the 70-200/f4L. Except for the 50mm on the bottom, all lenses are in the bag with their lens hoods mounted!
In addition, I fitted one of the two side pockets with a padded insert, so it now offers enough space for my Canon 1.4 TC, my 85/1.8 and the 100/f2.8 macro. The other side pocket holds batteries, chargers, plates and other accessories, whereas filters and adapters go into the front pocket.
Overall, this bag is a winner. Highly recommended!
