The F-4AF Pro System Bag by Domke is a 'shooter's bag". With its four pockets and two removable inserts, you can store all the ear you need for a light assignment. The camera can be stored in shooting position so that when the shot presents itself, all you need do is open the bag, grab the DSLR, shoot and move on.
Aside from a camera and zoom lens, the padded inserts will hold extra lenses as well as a larger strobe. The F-4AF is constructed from cotton canvas and open cell foam on the bottom while the fabric itself is treated with a special formula that protects it from weather. The fabric is breathable and will take on an aged look of its own after numerous uses. The included refinishing wax will bring the bag back to its original patina. For portability, there is an adjustable, non-slip Domke Gripper Strap as well as a removable hand strap.
The reputation of Domke Bags is well-known. Domke bags have graced the shoulders of photojournalists from all the four corners of the planet. They are renowned for their durability, functionality as shooting bags and ease of use. For pro or amateur, this is a rugged, and formidable choice for a bag when you need something that will last.

Comments about Domke F-4AF Pro System Bag Ruggedwear (Dark Khaki):
I was looking for a bag that I could use to carry around my Nikon D3s with the 85mm attached and still have room for another lens or two and this works well for me. I took out the extra padded compartments in order to accomplish this, but being able to fit the camera in with the lens on was the most important aspect for me and I rely on the heavy canvas and padded bottom to protect my equipment.
I like the look of the bag - it folds around your body and gives a relaxed broken in look that is not so camera equipment obvious. I like the weight of the material, the design and the overall quality.
If I was putting my camera in the truck of a car with other things this is not the bag I would use, but for carrying around and working out of the bag I find it to be excellent. The extra pockets are large and easy to get into as well.
Overall I'm extremely happy with my choice and would recommend it to anyone who has the same criteria.
I would have liked to have the option of paying less for the bag and not having the padded inserts.

Lives up to the Domke reputation. Good quality and functionality. Plenty of room for large SLR body, 3 lenses, and a flash. Does not look like a camera bag at first glance so is perfect for traveling discretely. I hope I get years of use out of this bag as I hear most do with their Domke bags. Zippers on some of the exterior pockets would be a bonus.

Comments about Domke F-4AF Pro System Bag Ruggedwear (Dark Khaki):
Works well when I don't need more than 1 or 2 lenses, and I'm going to be carrying my camera out all day. With Nikkor f/2.8 lenses (I have the 14-24mm, 17-35mm, 28-70mm, and 70-200 VR) I can't fit more than two. And I can't fit my D700 (with MB-10 grip) with lens attached. With slightly different dimensions and maybe different internal divider configuration, this might work better for larger pro-sized bodies and lenses.
But if all I need to do is take a couple of lenses with me (plus small accessories and a flash, if necessary), this bag is fine.

Asthetically pleasing to look at. Much more roomy than expected. Can fit more accessories than originally purchased for, which eliminates crowding. Quick connects are nice...durable metal instead of plastic. Will be purchasing one as a gift for father who is amateur professional photographer.

Durable but don't care for the way the top fits the bag and definately too small for an fx camera with a lens.
