Never washed it. Only in the many rains it's been in. Maybe I should.

The aged bags look great ... just curious, have you washed your F-803 yet?
If so, how does the olive color look after being laundered?

don't use an olive bag. The oil makes the camera slippery. Black bags are
groovier, have more PJ cred, and mellow much better. The only possible

Frantisek,
I have 803 (two pockets in front), and the first thing I got for it was 3 compartment

about the winder -- I rarely carry it (usually there's enough stuff packed without it

I was asking about the sides. What I like about Domkes is their
absence of much padding. The bag than nicely clings to my body and has
sort of crumpled look, unlike the overpadded Lowepros which look like
boxes. Makes easier to carry and much easier to work out of. Somebody

And you're right. The main comartment of the F2 is 12L x 6.5W x 9D, and the

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi,
I sort of like a lot Domke bags (even though they are
underinsulated), as they, unlike most other camera bags, have
normal, flowing, canvas, contours (unlike most Lowepros/Tamracs,
which although very nicely insulated feel like a box at your side).
