I've had a Domke F5XB for 19 years, Bob. Still have it, still use it. But it's simply not big enough to carry the iPad, and isn't as useful for what I carry in general. This is much more nicely put together too. It's a design between the Domke F803 Camera Satchel and the Billingham Hadley Pro, both of which I've had and used with great pleasure for long periods of time. Roomier than the F803 and trimmer than the Hadley, more versatile than either. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
