William, I do shoot MF (Pentacon Six), but it's become quite limited since I have gone digital - less than 10 rolls during the last year. Mostly landscape or aerial photography.
I normally use the Lowepro Mini Trekker og the Reporter 300 bag. When I'm using a car for my assignments, I tend to leave the bag and most of the gear in the car, and and the walk away with just one lens and perhaps a monopod. Sometimes I find myself using the wrong lens or not having a tripod available. A vest would be much nicer to carry, than a bag. And BTW, I'd like a big box with a 9-16 cells - for lenses and stuff - to just sit in the car, giving me a good overview of what I may use next time I get out to take a few shots.

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. William Robb
