I always wondered about Domke bags too. To me they look as much like camera
bags as any other. I do actually have one camera bag from domke that truly
doesn't look like a camera bag...it's one of the messenger bag types and it
looks like I'm carrying a canvas briefcase. Everyone I've shown it to was
surprised to see it full of cameras because it looks like something a
businessman would carry papers in.
