The brown F-8 Small Shoulder Bag - RuggedWear from Domke is a quality shooter's bag designed with a distressed patina finish that improves with age. It's designed to carry a host of photo gear including one to two cameras, two to four lenses, a flash, and accessories.
The F-8 RuggedWear is made of water-resistant canvas material coated with waxes and oils. The fabric produces a unique distressed and weathered look. The open-cell foam construction on the bottom adds cushioning for additional protection when the bag touches the ground. The fabric has been manufactured with Domke's special non-solvent waxes and oils that provide long-term protection from harsh weather. The breathable fabric ages well but can be restored to its original look with the use of the included refinishing wax.
Inside the bag is a removable partition for organizational purposes. Its three interior compartments and five pockets deliver excellent storage and additional organizational capabilities, for rapid access to the gear you need at a specific time. The renowned Domke Gripper Strap is tough and runs completely around the bag. The front flap protects the interior from water and is secured with Domke's traditional metal clip.
Dual side pockets are secured with touch fasteners and contain enough space for accessories, like a flash or light meter. There's an additional zippered pouch stashed within the front weather flap. Domke's hardware is made for tough day-after-day use, in a bag that is extremely lightweight at a mere 1.4 lb. If the bag gets dirty, it can readily be cleaned with a hose, damp cloth, or soft scrub brush. Saddle or flake soap also works well. Domke does not recommend machine washing the bag.
The name Domke is synonymous with bag quality. Their bags have graced the shoulders of photojournalists from all four corners of the planet for decades. Backed by a two-year warranty, the F-8 delivers quality and functionality that underscore the Domke reputation.
