Domke F-803 Reviews

It's smaller than I expected. Not a criticism.

Measurements don't tell the whole story when perusing camera bags online. You really have to see it in person to get a sense of it. I have an embarrassing amount of camera bags but most are either much smaller or much larger than the F-803, making this bag a perfect all-rounder—fitting nicely in the middle of the pack in size. My Lumix S1 and 3 lenses fit; my Leica M10 and more primes than I care to carry also fit fine. My primary reason to buy this bag was its light padding. Most camera bags have enough padding that they don't contour to your body, rather, they stick out and swing around. The Domke hugs to my side and stays put. It still has plenty of padding to protect my gear and enough pockets for my needs. I also appreciate that it's not labeled on the outside. For security reasons, I typically remove any branding when I pick up a new bag, I'm glad this was already done for me. I've read reports of people who say that the wax coating transfers to their clothing, and makes their gear oily. I did not have this problem. Perhaps there was a bad batch (?), but the consensus is that this is not an issue, and I have to agree. My only complaint is that the middle insert won't accommodate my camera. I was hoping it there would be three fairly equal partitions to swap gear around while on the go. It's not a big deal, but worth mentioning. I'd been considering this bag for some time, I'm glad I finally picked one up.

Domke Messenger Bag for the Win

This is the fourth Domke bag I've had over the years, and my new favorite. I like the canvas and the color and the size. It's great for everyday carry and for travel, carrying one body and a couple of lenses, some batteries, and other bits and bobs. I tried the Domke F802 Reporters messenger bag first, and again, great design and construction, but I found it to be TOO large for my use case. It would probably be great for someone carrying a laptop and documents on a daily basis, but it was not good for cameras and lenses, and a little too floppy to use in a crowd. I actually have two other copies of this F-803 bag, both in Black Cordera Nylon--they are great, but too heavy for the bag's size, and stiff due to the material; I gave one to a friend who uses it for a laptop bag, and I keep the second in reserve. I also have a large traditional Domke Photojournalist bag in black nylon, and it is great to use and basically indestructible, but that's for a two camera/four lens job and not for daily carry or travel. All of them are well-designed and made of premium materials. I guess I'd get another. Oh, I did.

Is the handle real or faux leather?
Asked by: Andrew
The Domke F-803 RuggedWear Camera Messenger Bag (Military Green) (B&H# DOF803MLTGRN) features a strong and comfortable strap made of what is typically called nylon webbing, a material that is commonly used for the strong straps on backpacks. To that the manufacturer adds a simulated leather cover on the top. Such modern material is typically considered not only strong and comfortable but also is highly resistant to water, just like the material that the rest of the bag is made from.

I'm hoping to use this bag as a lens changing bag. Will this fit large mirrorless lenses such as the Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S and 50mm f1.2 S with their hoods on and ready to shoot?
Asked by: Johnny
Due to the width of the base of the Domke F-803 RuggedWear Camera Messenger Bag (Military Green) and the width of the Nikon HB-87 Bayonet Lens Hood for NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Lens, If you wish to have the lens hood on the lens in the working position, you would most likely need to place the lens in the camera case with the base of the lens facing the bottom of the bag so the top of the bag (which is roomier) may be able to expand to accommodate the width of the lens hood. The Lowepro ProTactic Lens Exchange 200 AW (Black), B&H # LOPTLE200AW, would be a better option for your usage needs.

Does anyone know of a USA made day bag a little smaller than this? I will probably carry a Fuji mirrorless with small prime plus another prime or 18-55 kit lens. Also accessories like batteries, filters, cleaning wipes, cell phone, etc. I have this bag but it is a little large for going to amusement parks and day trips.

The Domke F-6 Little Bit Smaller Bag (Olive), BH # DOF6O would be a great alternative to carry the listed items. https://bhpho.to/3iSwrma

The Domke F-803 RuggedWear Camera Messenger Bag has interior dimensions of 12 x 9 x 3" which is sufficient space for a mirrorless camera system with 2 lenses and accessories.
