So, just like the thread title says, are these two camera bags comparable in terms of what they can hold?

I really like my 6MDH but I'm starting to prefer the style of Domke bags over that of the Crumplers. They have more of a 'natural' look, are even less conspicuous, and conform well to my back since they don't have the excessive amount of padding that the Crumplers do.

So, lets get down to the nitty gritty. I use my 6MDH as a streetbag to carry my 5D+24-105, 17-40, 70-200/4L IS, 50/1.4 (as well as all of the hoods). I'm also able to pack my filters, extra batteries and memory cards, a Gorillapod SLR Zoom, a notebook, and pen in there as well if I need to. Would I be able to put the same amount of stuff into the Domke F-6? Would I be able to stick my 5D+70-200/4L IS in F-6 if need be? For anyone who has used both bags, what are your thoughts on the two? Which of the two did you like better?

I think going Domke is a great move but I don't think the F6 is the bag you are going to be the model you want as it will be really tight, perhaps with the pod bent and on top or below the camera. I think the F-2 might better meet your needs.

You'll be able to have your 5D+70-200, your other glass, and still have room for your Gorilla pod, and I'm assuming a flash unit as well although you didn't mention it. Still room for the small stuff- filters/batteries/char​ger/cards, blower/sensor swabs & pads, lens cloth, notebook and pen and not feel like you are cramming everything in as tight as you can fit it.

Take a look at my sig. I have all of that plus the gorillapod & an 85L f/1.2 on loan, and all the accessories you list in the slightly larger F-1x bag. And that's with the 1D Mark IIN+70-200 f/2.8IS and 30D+grip+85L f/1.2 attached along with all the lens hoods.

I don't think the F-6 will be deep enough to handle the 70-200 on the body. You might want to look at the Domke F-803 instead. One of the other, bigger bags like the F-2, F-802 or F-4AF would be very comfortable with room to grow.

Aww damn. I forgot to mention my 430EX and already you guys are saying that the F-6 is too small. Crap. Time to re-think things I guess. Thanks, guys.
