the lacoste bag is a dandy ...

i have had a green canvas domke f-5xb for about five years. i like it a lot. it's durable and pretty incognito. it's a good size for out-and-about, allowing me to carry an M body with a lens attached, plus two other lenses and accessories. about three years back, i added on a domke f-803 in waxwear. i knew i wanted a somewhat larger bag for travel, but i really didn't get on with this bag. i didn't like the waxwear (you need to reapply the ointment and the instructions say you shouldn't wash a waxwear bag in a washing machine), and i didn't like the light brown strap and body strips (which seemed to get dirty easily--and then need hand washing). so i sold the bag, having used it very little, and have been a one-bag guy since. just two days ago, though, i decided to get another f-803, but in black canvas. i still need a slightly larger bag for travel (so I can put in the battery charger and an ipad, etc.), so i'm hoping a canvas model will be much more to my liking. we shall see ...

I started out with a little a couple of smaller Lowe Pro bags but then a couple of years ago I got a Domke F2 and now I'm hooked. I love the canvas and it's a lot easier to find things in than the Lowe Pros for me.

My F2 is in a Nikon suede bag that my step-dad probably bought with it back in the early '70's. It's cool looking and well built but you have to take the camera and whatever else out to get to the lower compartments.

Here's the Nikon bag with the F2 and associated lenses:
