from b&h - online Summary:
i beleive that the 803 satchel would fit it's purpouse wonderfully, unfortunately i thought i could squeeze my fm3a with the 45mm lens in there. the body fit nicely without a lens, but with the lens (filter,hood, and lenscap) the satchel bulged and kind of felt a bit obtrusive. this bag would probably be perfect for a rangefinder, but i did not want a big satchel. either way you put the camera it is a tight fit with a lens attatched, a lil too tight. but it gets the job done. the construction of the bag is top notch, the padding seems a bit on the thin side, but it is very dense and offers decent protection. i think the bag could offer about half an inch to an inch more or the inside width. the canvas is very tough and durable, and the strap is the same. when the metal clasp is locked, carrying the bag as a psuedo suitcase feels second nature due to the hard section on the flap, unfortunately domke should have made this feature removeable, because even though they claim the bag hugs your body, it cant because of this peice of plastic. it keeps the bag rather stiff and the feel and look of the bag is somewhat awkward. Strengths:
high quality materials. low key stylings, many possibilities with the inserts, front pockets offer roomy compartments for accessories, and back pocket is great for filter files or papers, etc. Weaknesses:
thing, too thin. the bag seems too tall and too wide, but the interior is way too thin. an extra inch would have been perfcet. hard section in flap is obtrusive when carrying the bag over the shoulder. quite expensive if you ask me, its just canvas, not to mention the padding wasn't very extravagant either.
