What's the Right Domke Bag for K-1 + 1-2 Small Lenses?

**AgentL** · 07-05-2022, 10:27 AM

Anyone use a Domke bag for the K-1? I like their bags a lot, and have used a couple small ones for mirrorless in the past. But I'd like a bag that fits the K-1 with a lens, and then maybe a couple of primes (no big tele ones) and some odds and ends. Not huge, comfortable to wear over the shoulder for a long walk, but easy enough to get the camera into-out of. Any suggestions? Oh, and I don't like the models which have a giant velcro patch... in the past I've put a fat strip of tape over one part of it but if some bags come without it altogether, so much the better.

Their smallest bag, fhe F-8 is just barely enough for K1, FA 43 and FA77, plus spare battery, phone, wallet, keys. It's actually a bit cramped, I have to put it lens facing down and there's a bit sticking out, though the lid is fine to hold it in place securely. It works for me since I prefer a smaller bag. Velcro patch is small, I don't rely on it and always use the clasp.

Anyone use the F-6? Am I right in thinking it's kind of in the middle between the F-8 and the F-2?

The F-5XC or the F-803 work for two lenses. I have also used the F-5XB with the K-1 Fa 43 and Fa 77 but it was the rugged wear version which is more flexible than the others.

Domke F-3X is my current bag; K-3 with grip and lens attached, with room for at least two more reasonably-sized lenses.....
