Boy, did I get emails!!!!! \u00a0Fair enough, let me address them. \u00a0Am I a member of the bag of the month club? \u00a0You bet, in good standing too! \u00a0I thought you used a rolling bag, do you? \u00a0Yes, when I travel by air and have to walk through airports, you bet, a rolling bag is the easiest to mange. What are the Donke bags for? \u00a0Glad you asked. \u00a0I love the Jim Domke inspired canvas bags, they are such a part of my heritage as a shooter. \u00a0When I was a photojournalist, long long ago in a galaxy far far away, I used the famous Domke F-2 bag to carry two Nikons and four lenses, almost everybody did. \u00a0It was actually the official bag of the White House Press Photographers Association, of which I was once a member! \u00a0That bag is still a mainstay for photojournlists using mostly Nikons and Canons, (translation big bulky DSLRs and lenses).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I went to the Fujifilm X System (mirrorless) I need smaller bags with smaller compartments to match my new lighter and smaller system. \u00a0I was thrilled that some of Jim Domke’s smaller bags were a perfect fit!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why a three bag system. \u00a0Let’s clear this up, when I travel in my SUV which is by far, by way far, my favorite way to travel. \u00a0I prefer smaller bags that I can actually carry if I need to. \u00a0These Domke bags are perfect and I have broken them into three catagories;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Domke F-6\u00a0\u00a0 Field Work Bag<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Range 15mm \u2013 200)<\/p>\n

Most coverage regardless of \u00a0bulk and weight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

X-H1 body<\/p>\n

X-T3 or X-T2 body<\/p>\n

10-24 f 4<\/p>\n

18-135 f 3.5-5.6<\/p>\n

16mm f 1.4<\/p>\n

60mm f 2.4 Macro & Ext tubes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Domke F-5XB\u00a0\u00a0 People\/Speed Bag<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 (Range 35mm \u2013 85)<\/p>\n

Avaialble light, people and low light work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

X-Pro 2 Body<\/p>\n

23mm f 2<\/p>\n

56mm f 1.2<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Domke F-803\u00a0\u00a0 Travel \u00a0Bag<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Range 27mm \u2013 300)<\/p>\n

Most coverage at the least bulk and weight. Small and portable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

X-H1 or X-T3<\/p>\n

27mm f 2.8<\/p>\n

18-55\u00a0 f 2.8-4<\/p>\n

50mm f 2<\/p>\n

55-200 f 3.5-4.8<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By having these “systems” pre-packed I can grab the one that suites where I’m going and packed with what I know I will need. \u00a0Of coure any of this can be altered if the assignment, most of mine now are self assignments, \u00a0changes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I still using rolling cases for air travel, and I still have special bags when the need arises, too many in fact, but this is a system that I think will work for me!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What about the beloved 100-400 \u00a0It in a very nice padded Think Tank lens case all to itself, and it will always be be in the SUV with me!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Food for thought, please chime in your ideas, thoughts and questions!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
