In Topic: Domke fans?

20 January 2014 - 09:16 AM

I got my first Domke bag back in the mid-'80's, and have been using them ever since. No other bag I've come across offers the same combination of durability, protection and access to your gear while shooting. I was a newspaper photojournalist from 1986 until 2012, and being able to retrieve lenses and other gear from your bag while working an assignment extremely important, and Domke bags are just the best for this. I do commercial work now and use a Think Tank Speed Freak most of the time, but if I need to carry more than two lenses, or an extra body, I grab the Domke.

If I didn't already have a D700, I'd almost certainly get a D610 as my backup body. Still, you might consider looking around for a good used D700 - many can still be found with very low shutter actuations.

Thanks, Tony! I have a couple of galleries up now, and will be adding others soon.

Good used D3s bodies seem to be going for between 3 and 4 thousand. I love mine - it's a real workhorse. I'm a commercial photographer, and also do a good bit sports, and it's just the perfect combinatoion of high frame rate, high ISO capability, and handling.

From the current Nikon line, I'd say the D600/610 provides the best value for the money. But overall, I think the discontinued D700 is the untimate in bang for the buck for Nikon bodies. The D700 really an unbeatable combination of features and price. I was fortunate enough to buy a mint D700 about a year ago with just 1,200 shutter activations, and use it as my backup body for my D3s.

 

Oh, and I think the D3s would be second on that list of best value! It's just an incredible camera.
