F-3 Backpack Questions

[Bokehman]

1. Is the inside of the main compartment wrapped in nylon?
Pretty much all the images just show the outside, but there is a Japanese site that has an image with what looks like a nylon interior (sorry - can't post the link as I'm new here).

2. Can the backpack be machine washed like the other bags?

3. Will a Canon 70-200/4 IS fit along with a 5D and 17-40? There is a review on the B&H site that says he could not get his 70-200/2.8 to fit. While it's bigger than the f/4 it's not a LOT bigger.

Also, the website should include interior photos along with the beauty shots. Just a suggestion for those of us who order sight unseen from the US due to the outrageous prices they charge for Domke gear here in Canada.

TIA

The bottom part of my F2 backpack is nylon-lined. I'd presume the F3 is the same.

So just the bottom of the bag ... like the F-3X has?

Anyone have answers to questions 2 and 3?

Sorry Tia, I was on vacation.
Jon is correct, only the bottom has Nylon, the sides are canvas. You could machine wash it. If it fits it would be a tight fit. On the F-2 Backpack we made it so that the flap between the camera section and the storage area could open to accomodate bigger cameras. We didn't add this feature to the F-3 Backpack.

Also, we are working now on interior shots loaded with equipment.

Thanks,
Andrea

Thanks.

Here is more text as apparently I needed 9 more characters.

That has happened to me a few times too.
