It's about OK size if you need to put full assignment gear into it. They are nice bags, I have myself F2 and F803 (or 802?). I think they go well with my ragged (or rugged? <vgb>) self ;-) I have been trough assignments in heavy rain for hours with them (they are made of cotton) and not a drop inside. OTOH for some people they are too unprotective. Depends on how you (ab)use your cameras. BTW, I heard they are either out of business (was it Tiffen that acquired Saunders which acquired Domke bags years ago?), or doing badly. Czech importer (Kodak!) stopped carrying them two years ago, and I haven't seen them much in Europe as well. If that's true, I will just have to make my own. I am getting a good supply of (technical!) super-heavy-grade hemp cloth so be prepared to see some Stoned (TM) camera bags at next EuroPDML ;-) Best regards, Frantisek Vlcek
