[Official Thread] Inserts for Domke Bags

I can't quite figure out if the DSLR insert will fit inside my F2 together with the original insert or if it is a replacement only. Anyone tried it?

Which insert?

Because the inserts sabesh tested use all the main compartment of the bag, you won't be able to fit your original Domke insert...

Glad to help ;)

I also found another insert, the reference is bokeh, here is the link on ebay: [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-BOKEH-camera-bag-insert-for-domke-f-2-tiffen-f2_W0QQitemZ270551499291QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3efe20421b[/url]

As someone who does not care if the lens is mounted to the camera inside my f2 I suggest this: nikon 17-55 is approx 4.25 "w with shade.as is tokina 11-16
canons are similar size. these lenses just don't fit with shades on even with wide angle insert
Insert is 8.5 wide inside dimensions of bag give another say 2.5 or 3 inches for 2bodies without lenses
so inside measerments are 14 call it F2D
While your at it improve strap by incorporating pad in strap and making hardware metal like they used to be.meaning the strap rings
I have d300's so the big boys will have to be a bit bigger
I search and search but I hate these big bulky bags like coolers hanging on your side

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not an insert, but if you made the f-808 with backpack straps like the "Targus 15.4 Grove Convertible Messenger/Backpack" (I'd put a link to their site for pictures, but I can't link in posts.), and a waist strap (for when carrying as a messenger and another for when carrying as a backpack), I'd be all over it.

Thanks, Carolyn

One thing that would vastly improve the insert system is a second strip of Velcro around the bottom of the bag. Just like the top of the bag currently has.

Making the Velcro strip slightly wider would also improve retention as well.

Of course, a ballistic F1-X with these features should be sent to me for beta testing;)

I wish you said something about 4 months ago. Bad timing on your part, guess that means no beta testing for you. :)

:D Regardless, feel free to incorporate my suggestions into future product improvements.

I'll happily pony up for an F1-X with those features. I am on my second shoulder strap on my current F1-X, so replacement is on the horizon.
