Customer Reviews
I received my Domke 803 in waxwear finish today and I am thoroughly impressed.It is much smaller than I had expected but fits a ton of stuff. If you are considering this bag to carry a laptop, move on to a larger size like the Domke F-802, 701-88 or the like. It will hold netbooks, ipads, tablets and the like easily in the back compartment.The main interior compartment is large and roomy and Domke includes a single insert with the bag. I did not order the three divided insert to accompany this bag as I wanted to see if the single insert would suffice. So far it seem it will fit the bill nicely. The single padded insert easily accommodates my X100 (with hood) or Olympus EP-2 (with 14-45 lens). With the insert moved to the farthest point to the left or right, I can even fit my D700 with 50mm in the main compartment. I then use the insert for my 70-200. The back pocket easily fits my iPad2 in a moleskine like case (from Pad&Quill) and doesn't stick out of the top of the pocket as it does in the "ipad friendly" pockets of most bags. The two flap pockets easily hold my keys, wallet and cell phone. The two front pockets under the flap are large enough for chargers, batteries, memory cards, pens, notepads, sunglasses, etc...The shoulder strap is the typical Domke gripper strap. It works great and is very comfortable. If you are debating on buying the Domke Post Office strap pad, I'd suggest passing on it as this bag is small enough it is difficult to load it down enough to warrant the extra padding, although if you go with a larger bag the Domke strap pad is a great item to have for a heavily weighed down bag. As with most Domke bags, the strap is not removable.The overall build quality is very good. Quality stitches, quality fabric and the waxwear finish protects everything from anything but the harshest environments. The main compartment is sufficiently padded on the bottom and sides. I do wish Domke could design a better bag clasp as the metal clasp can be difficult and even painful to open one handed while the bag is suspended on your shoulder. The 803 is the typical high quality I've come to expect from Domke and I know I'll be using this bags for years and years to come.Bottom-line: Great bag, exactly what I wanted. If I had it all to do over again, I'd choose this bag.Pro's:very durable, will last a lifetimeadequately paddedroomy (can fit my ipad and camera gear)versatile (Configure insert in any way you wish)small, light (easily fit in under-seat storage on a flight)1/2 the price of Billingham's cheapest bag3/5 the price of Artist & Artisan's cheapest bagCons:Bag enclosure clasp can be difficult to use one handed. Small gripe, I suspect it will loosen up and become easier as my other domke bags have.
