I have an old Banana Republic "Photojournalist's Vest" and an Eddie Bauer 
near copy. Both have plenty of pockets/dividers - perhaps to the geek 
level.

My old vest, which my wife swiped from me is a nicer vest for 35mm sized 
gear. The outside cargo pockets have a divider which allows two lenses per 
pocket, and it keeps them seperated so they don't injure each other.
The Domke would be better for MF/LF as the cargo pockets are undivided and 
so can carry bigger lenses or film holders, but the weight becomes a 
terrible disadvantage with the larger equipment.
I don't really think vests are the way to go for MF/LF, which is fine, I am 
pretty sure Jens is not shooting that stuff anyway.
I could see the Domke being great for a videographer, or someone who is 
shooting larger 35mm gear (Canon comes to mind) because of the bigger cargo 
pockets.
