Hi,
I am in the market for a photo vest... Been looking at Domke and Tamarac...
Any others I should consider?
Just need to carry one DSLR, 2 lenses and small accessories...
Thanks

Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.

bubbygator I can't tell the difference  1,477 posts Gallery: 1 photo Likes: 63 Joined Feb 2011 Location: Sarasota, sunlight, butterflies, fish, Gators, and Seminoles More info | After having some luck in customizing a fishing fanny-pack with padding, I thought I'd give a fishing vest a try. IMG NOTICE: [NOT AN IMAGE URL, NOT RENDERED INLINE] I got this one on sale for $40 at Beall's Dept. store. It's the Columbia "Cold-Creek" mesh vest. It's extremely light and cool - here in Florida in these 100-deg temps, you know it has to be cool for me to say this. I was able to easily fit my camera body into one lower pocket, my 85mm into the other lower pocket (these pockets are big - it would hold a 200mm/2.8), and my 28mm into an upper pocket. There are 12 pockets in this vest, so there's still lots of room for other stuff. Now the only thing I have to do is add a layer of internal padding to the outer wall of the key pockets to cushion against bumps. For my fanny-pack, I used a combo of sponge-rubber and foam-plastic. I think the sponge-rubber will work with this vest. For the ladies - google the various reviews on this vest... the ladies like it. Gear List

Iowa, USA. More info | Jun 17, 2011 23:09 | #9 I have the one that is sold in the POTN shop. It is very nice. I have used it for traveling and it is great for carrying all those extras that you need. I am not sure that there is a great deal of difference in the setup of any of the vests, just in the price. Doc Klepper in the USA
