What's the difference between these 2? They look pretty similar but I've only seen the 1st one in person. Thanks.

Yeah, I can only tell the dimensions and name are slightly different from the website, but want to get some input for those who has seen both and know the real difference. 20D • 24 2.8 • 85 1.8

My Tamron/Domke does not have one, not a big deal at all, being how small that "pocket" is. As you already know the Tamron is like $20 less also. Funny - my Tamron/Domke (from Adorama - like yours?) has a front pocket where the photo shows the pen. The Tamron/Domke doesn't have a belt slot which the "pure" Domke does, and may be missing some of the other pockets the pure Domke has.. Jon

I also don't have the belt loop. Joe

Thinking about it a little more, I think I do have a pocket in the front. But aren't there suppose to be two pockets with the one being divided in two and the other (I think the lower one) running the length of the bag. I think the pocket divided in two is the one the Tamron/Domke doesn't have. The reason I'm thinking this is: The description on Domke's website read "seven" pockets. Joe

Thanks for clarifying this guys. So basicly the difference of the Tamron one is not having the belt loop and fewer pockets? Is it worth the extra money to get the more expensive one? Thanks! 20D • 24 2.8 • 85 1.8

I believe the pocket issue, whatever it may come to, would only amount to something that'll take a small item, say a CF card wallet or a lens cap. Jon

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Jan 05, 2007 16:18 | #13 I'm here, finally. Here are shots of my "true Domke" blue bag, which is like a part of me now.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Front has a pocket, it's not big and if you fill the bag, the slot is rather tight. But I can fit my wallet in there, if I want to travel light. The Domke will fit nicely my 5D with 24-70L with hood reversed. It's my main kit when I am running out. I keep CF cards in the little holders. The back of the bag has the huge belt loop, which I don't use, but is nice if I need it. The cost if around $59 from just about anywhere worth buying from. I looked at the other choices, and this bag was far superior. It looks less of a "camera bag" and more of a "stuff inside, but not necessarily a purse" bag. Which means, my sons and husband don't mind carrying it, they do mind carrying the Crumpler bags. They think those bags are too colorful.:o Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

Thanks for the help guys. Now I'm just debating on which color to get, tan or black. 20D • 24 2.8 • 85 1.8
