i had wanted to get the domke bag since last mth.. & after checking it out at my local retail store i was totally drawn back by the price tag. the F-4AF cost about $300 bucks! gosh.. i can get a crumpler+lowepro or a thinktank+lowepro with that amount of $$.

then i learnt abt domke clones a week ago & started to ask friends about it. some mentioned TK has it.. while another said that OP has it. neway, i did not really spent effort to check with those stalls to enquire if they have it. and so happen that i went to CWS last friday to get the remote shutter trigger then i casually asked the guy there if they have the domke clone. he gladly showed me a bag which looked so much like the domke F2!! The bag seems pretty low & jus to wide for my liking & i din't really like the black+sand color combo. it cost only $75!!! shocking right haha.. the brand is not domke but its safrotto.

Anyway it did not really bother me until on the next day after watching a movie & i din know wat to do.. then the thought of popping by CWS to take a look at the bag & see if they have sumthing taller & less wide, plus fully black in color. when i reach CWS, the guy who served me the day before knew instantly why i am back at the stall! he was smiling to me when i walked up to him & told him the F2 clone was just not ideal enuff.. i want sumthing like an F3X. his eyes instantly brighten & replied me.. "yes yes i have!" & for the rest of the story, i tink i can simply stop here & show-off the pic of my new domke clone bag!


this is actually almost the same as the Domke F-4AF Pro. jus that the padding in this clone is much thicker than the real domke. its actually a plus point.. i feel more "padded" & secured.

below is a pic of wat the actual Domke F-4AF Pro looks like.


well so in the end i kindda saved over $200 bucks getting a clone domke.
