I have an F-802, which is bigger than the F-803. No good for cameras, but very good for a laptop, A4 pad etc. I carried it to work for years, but it's very scruffy now.
I've wanted an F-803 for years, but Domke stuff isn't available here any more. I suppose I should just get Amazon to send me one. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Nick Wright > Sent: 14 March 2007 21:55 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: The Perfect Bag > > I'll second the Domke f-803.
