[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 658942, member: 14443"] yes it should be ample space for that. had the domke f2 in black YEARS back. gave it to a friend after a short time. looks cool, sucks in implementation. dust gets in [B]very [/B]easily because you dont have a closed zippered main compartment. its just a flap. gear can fall out of it, if it falls over from a table/chair. . theres very little to no padding inside from the bag perimeter besides the dividers. the outer flabric skeleton isnt ridgid or thick with padding so its soft and pliable, like a pair of jeans. you just have a thin flap on the main compartment thats held by a small piece of velcro and it connects to the lower part with old style clips that are a pita to use. besides this, from what I remember, it came with a 4 compartment, non adjustable padded divider, so you would need to get a seperate system to get the 200-500 in their with padding. all in all, I was not impressed. thats why I gave it to my good friend who doesnt go photographing much, bought 7+ lowepro bags and never looked back. you dont have to buy lowepro (there are [B]many [/B]excellent offerings today), but the domke doesnt give much protection. to dings or dust. my photo trekker AW fell off my motorcycle at 80km and withstood rips or tears and no damage to gear as it very well padded. the domke will hold up to rips but it will not protect your gear, no way. minimal padding. I also hated the non padded shoulder strap, but im sure you can buy an aftermarket one. and it has no weather cover should you find yourself in a rain storm. i sujre you could modify it to add padding to the outside perimeter wall but thats makes the inside much smaller.
