Domke Outpack Waist Pack

An excellent bag for day excursions and the ballistic nylon construction can't be beat for durability and strenght.

This bag is perfect, in my opinion, for day trips when you do not need all of your camera gear. Having most of my equipment either in a Domke J-2 or a large Tamrac, depending on 35mm or medium format requirements, I have found that this small, well made bag carries what I need to wander off for a day of shooting. This bag can hold a Leica R-8 with a 35-70 lens, 24mm, 180mm, Quantum battery in the side pocket and a Metz flash unit. Not only can it hold all of this equipment close to my body, but I also have room for all the film that I need plus an additional pocket for filters etc.
The construction is very solid and the bag sits nicely on the shoulder without sticking out and drawing attention to itself. By taping black cloth tape over the Domke logo on both sides, the camera bag is transformed into a plain shoulder bag.

Not Necessary

An excellent bag and at 1/2 the price of a far inferior LowePro, I'd buy it again.

Simple, well-made. It's not a "million places to hide things and a dedicated pocket for your cellphone" kind of bag, and no Domke is. The water bottle holder is useful and pretty cool. Lashing point on the side is a good place for Quantum battery pack or pager.

Not a lot...could be a bit bigger.

It's a bag.
