Nice solid clips
I am pretty good at finding almost anything on the internet. Chances are, if I am going to be involved, was involved or am thinking about becoming involved in something — I have looked it up online.
I searched the internet for hours — not hyperbole here — looking for a Domke bag that would fit a 7D, 50D, 40d…. any of that family of camera with the battery grip attached and a 16-35mm f2.8 lens attached.
I couldn’t find a single image. There were lots of close bags. but not the F6 with my requiremets.
The closest I found was a forum of photographers talking about which Domke they recommended and photos of cameras placed lens-down body-back up in several types on domke bags. I would never feel safe toting a camera around like that.
Just about as wide as a full-sized computer keyboard
I have had the Domke j2 ballistic bag for the past seven years and still love that bag, but it was a little too big. I rarely used the side pockets unless i was traveling. I also wanted something a little less black and a little less camera bag looking.
So I went for the olive-colored Domke F6, also known as the Little Bit Smaller Domke. I packed it up with my 7D with a battery grip and a 17-40mm lens (still waiting on my filter from B&H after having to return my other mis-order. )
And now for the photo which I spent hours scouring the intarwebs.
7D with a battery grip and 17-40mm lens attached in a Domke F6: From the top.
What is in the bag?: 7D with batterygrip and 17-40mm on its side. 100mm f2.8 with hood stored vertically. 530exII flash in case, stored vertically. 50mm prime stored upright. Zipper front case has charger, small rocket air cleaning kit. The inside top zipper has the manuals for the 7D and the flash, along with a few compact flash cards (hence the square-looking nature of the top of the bag when closed.
In all it is a great bag, malleable yet protective. Padded bottom but canvas sides. It seems to be just what I was looking for.

Take one camera, with over 200,000 pictures taken. Add lots of dirt and dust from six years of world travel: From the top of Scotland to heart of London; Perched on the edge of Machu Picchu to dust storms in Bakersfield. What do you get? You get my Canon 20D.
I’ve had the camera for six years now. It is almost an extension o fmy hand I know it so well. I can shoot from the hip and have my photos framed and level.
Welcome the newest member of our family, 7D. She is the younger, smarter and more attractive sister to 20D.
I’m excited to get out and take some photos again. I goofed on a UV filter purchase for the new lens I got with it (16-35mm f2.8 II L). I picked up the Ultra-wide B+W UV filter to protect the lens. Little did I know it sticks out around the lens 10mm, preventing use of the lens cap, and the lens hood. Should have paid attention to the specifications for front cap.
Fortunately B&H will take the filter back and I’ll replace it with a simple 82mm filter, rather than that huge eyesore.
You want some results? I haven’t had the chance to go out yet, because it only just arrived. But I didn’t get a chance to snap a shot of last night’s dessert:
UPDATE: Oh man, there is so much more to learn. This thing is so much more customizable. I might have to get certified to use a 7D and its wide array of functionality. Fortunatly Canon has a large info database on the 7D.
