Ah well, as I just said, "Bags are so darn personal."* The Domke turned out to
be smaller than you had anticipated. The
PhotoRunner may be bigger, in person, than you imagine. I go back and forth,
sometimes surprised at how small it is, for
all the gear in it; sometimes wishing I had something a little smaller. So far,
I've found nothing smaller with its
other great attributes.
One other wonderful thing in its favor I forgot to mention is that the waist
straps may be folded and tucked out of the
way for carrying by hand loop or shoulder strap and when stowing it. I have an
LLBean waist pack I use for other stuff
and the waist straps are always in the way when it isn't on me. Drives me crazy.
It's also a cheap experiment.
If you go to Chi Town to look at bags, be sure to check out the LowePro
Slingshot Chuck talked about, too.
Bags Are Moose
* I have a Baggallini messenger bag. I don't like the strap, material or
closures much. But it has a zippered place in
back that allows it to slip over the handle on rolling luggage. That's so darn
convenient when traveling that I always
take it for the plane trips, and pack a different bag to use at my destination.
