Hi, I'm Kevin Raver and thanks for coming by the Lume this landscape. Today I want to talk about a new camera bag and before I go too far into this camera bag I do have to confess that I am a camera bag junkie if you haven't figured that out from my past articles. I have a lot of camera bags and someday I will do an article every camera bag I have and I'll stack them all in the driveway and you'll see how many there are. It's a little ridiculous and for those of you that share my addiction issue you'll know what I'm talking about. However, once in a while I come across a bag that I really like and many many years ago back in the 70s or early 80s I lived in Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Inquirer had a photographer with the last name of Domke. He created a canvas bag that allowed us to kind of throw cameras in a little over the shoulder bag and run with it. That was before there were a lot of different camera bags, most camera bags back then were leather. I had one of the original Domke bags and it's lived with me for quite some time. In the last few years Tiffin bought the rights to make the Domke bags and Tiffin now manufactures the Domke bags and there's a whole new expanded line of Domke-type bags. I'm going to be talking about the Chronicle. It's the Chronicle Rugged Ware and I put it in the military colors. I kind of just like that rather than the tan or the black. I want to kind of share with you why I like this bag so much and tell you how I would use it on an everyday basis. First off it's a shoulder bag. Inside this bag I've got five lenses in the camera body, a bottle of water and I pad, filters and just about everything else you can think of. It's a very well thought out bag. It's kind of a wax-type canvas. It loosens up with time however when you get it it's going to be rather stiff but it wears well and once the more you use it the better it gets. It's got a shoulder strap which is quite nice. It slings right over my shoulder and allows me to work and carry all this stuff nicely as a shoulder bag. This is not like a bag you'd want to drag around doesn't have wheels or what not but there's many times I've traveled on the airplane with my backpack and this bag and it fits nicely into the overhead. One of the beauties I like about this bag. First off is it has just a regular handle you can pull up at any time you want. It also has an access from the top. I can unzip the top or in this case, re-zip it and just reach in and at any time have access to any of my lenses or cameras that are in here. You can easily pull out a lens and switch the lens and then drop it back in without having to undo the whole bag. Let's take a look at the whole bag structure. The bag has snaps or shackles that hold it together. It's very easy to use. You just push on it and undo them and this is what we begin to look like. We have a lot of Velcro. The Velcro can keep it attached so if you don't want to use the shackles and you're working fast say at a sporting event or something you can just keep it shut and it's not going to flap open open it up and away you go. As you can see in here I've got four lenses and a camera. I have a compartment where the iPad can sit and I've got pockets here that are expandable and on the sides I also have pockets which are kind of double pockets one on the outside one on the inside not to mention that they're expandable. I can unzip this all the way around and this pocket turns into a huge another pocket could be for lenses, batteries, water bottles, whatever you might like. So they're very very well thought out in regards to the way that works. The zippers work really really nice. There's snaps if you want to undo these snaps to expand the front pockets and there's foam rubber inserts which come in here. The zipper is a pocket like I showed you where your iPad can sit and there's another pocket in the back where credentials, paperwork, whatever it might be. There's just a lot of nice surprises and bits of storage in here and it's come out to be a very nice bag. A lot of times if you want you can undo the shackles and just work with the bag like this. So this is the Domkey Chronicle. It's become one of my go-to bags easy to throw under back in your car easy to walk through the woods and easy to carry a full set up of gear with you. So I highly recommend this bag. I'm totally hooked on it and I think you'd find it to be a worthwhile purchase of yourself. Thanks. Appreciate you coming by the Loomless Landscape and I'll see you on the Loomless Landscape.
