- In this video, I'm trying my best to not shell out products, but people need to be talking about DOMKE camera bags, specifically the DOMKE F-3X. This camera bag does it all and carries it all, and I want you to know about it.

I've been using Domke bags since the late 1980s, when Jim Domke still owned the company and they made only two sizes. They last forever and are great bags.
I own (4) of these. Perfect for a DSLR or medium format golm camera.
Love my Domke bags. Versatile, and they last forever.
These bags never wear out. There's a reason they've been in business and used by pros for so long and made in the USA. Love my F2, it's a workhorse.
That’s what it seems like!
I'm always on the search for the perfect bag. This one checks a lot of boxes so I will be checking it out. Thanks for the review!!
Glad I could help!
Amazing bag, yes! I have a 30 year old F3. Hold the gear, safely and securely, and close. very lightweight, easy to configure.
I've used them for decades - great bags. I'm currently using a J1 which is actually too big for my needs, so I might have to revisit this model.
It's "Dom-Key". Invented by ex-Vietnam war combat medic Jim Domke in 1975 who based the original on the canvas bags he used there when working as a photojournalist in Philadelphia. He sold the company to Tiffen in 1990. The design USP was being able to carry lenses and cameras stored vertically for quick access.
Thanks for the information and pronunciation! I didn’t know that!
If I remember right, the story was that his mother sewed the first bag for him when he worked for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Other photographers saw the bag and wanted one, so the company was born.
@@JimSamuel267 that’s wild! Good for his mom!
Like others have mentioned, I've still got my nearly-30-year old F2. You can't go wrong with the F3 as a solid walking-around bag. I've used a variety of their bags, pouches, wraps and belt systems over the years and can't recommend Domke enough. Great review!
Thanks for sharing your experience with Domke! I'm sure they're going to last a long time.
I love my F1x and was planning to buy a smaller F-3X, but the prices have gone up significantly here in Germany.
Great review! I have a couple of questions about the Domke F3 bag. First, doesn't the lack of a zipper or other closure on the main compartment cause any issues, especially in bad weather, like rain or snow? Second, I've read on some forums that the bag's metal clasps are not very durable and might fail over time. Has this been an issue in your experience?
This bag definitely isn’t weather sealed like you see on other high tech bags. But the top flap does close nicely around all four sides. If properly done, I haven’t had this bag leak water in rain. We don’t get snow in Texas though.
As far as the metal clasp, it is thin metal but it’s such a simple design, I don’t see how it could fail unless you pulled it hard enough to break it. Maybe over 20 years it might eventually break. But nothing lasts forever. I have no concerns over the metal buckle.
LV bags are heavily copied, and small cute bags with funny handles are not practical everyday bags, the kislux bag would be much more practical. Thanks again for the informative video.
I use a f8 with my hasselblad kit and it’s the best bag hands down. I feel bad wasting money on so many others bags.
Definitely! I wish I had found it sooner.
Still using my F2 from like ~30 yrs ago,
Hi which zoom lens is on the Sony 7RII :)?
On the camera I had the TTartisan 75mm f2. But the only zoom lens in the video was the Sony G 24-50 f2.8.
