Pros:
|
Roomy, lots of space for digital cameras, and modern pro zoom lenses
|
|
Cons:
|
expensive, hard to find
|
|
After years of using Domke bags, I found that even the largest of them didn't really hold modern pro zooms very well. The bags weren't tall enough for the 70-200, and the spaces for the lenses were too narrow to take the 17-35 and 28-70 with the lens hoods attached.
A British friend recommended the Billingham bag, which is very popular with the British press corp. It's beautifully made, and holds tons of stuff. Well worth the extra bucks

I bought mine from the factory - just turned up and was delighted with their service. The bag holds all my gear and has a weatherproof opening, but, it can easily fall over if not loaded correctly due to the vast pockets on the front hanging over the base. Billingham started out many years ago making fishing tackle bags and the bags are virtually hand-made and are beautiful - try one for yourselves.
