BTW: The ones I like best, judging from pics and description), among those

The
Canon Eos vest
and the
Fotodiox vest (Deluxe Pro Photo Vest)

I've just come back from three weeks in Central Europe and wore the
Domke vest most of the time. It has a superfluity of pockets, is well
made and is available in all sizes up to gigantic. Net back to let the
steam out when you are cruising around in 40degree heat. Bought mine
from B&H for about 100Euro.
The only drawback is that it makes you look like either a dweeb or a
pro. So people stare and try to charge you pro rate for photo tickets.
Though maybe the former is not the fault of the jacket.

For me the lighter the vest the better. I'm using a 10 year old vest from
Eddie Bauer and find that the most important thing about using it is to
always place specific items in the same pockets so as to not have to fish
around looking for something in all the pockets, eg. unexposed rolls in a LH
pocket & exposed film in a similar pocket on the RH side.

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.
