Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tiffen Domke F-505 Lens Case - Compact

Customer Review: Great quality, exceptional bang for the buck
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a Domke branded case, made by Tiffen. Domke is an old and well respected brand in camera cases, and it was purchased by Tiffen some years ago to flesh out Tiffen's product line.

I have no idea whether this particular model predates the Tiffen acquisition, but as with other Domke/Tiffen collaborations I find it to be a very nice product. This thing is incredibly sturdy and well padded, with a semi-rigid structure that should shrug off most small impacts. It's got a hook-and-loop belt loop which is probably the weakest link structurally - it's still fairly secure, but I can see how it could be ripped off of a belt if enough pressure were applied to it. It also includes a handy shoulder strap should you wish to carry it that way, although it's so small the belt loop seems like it's more practical.

The shape of the case is somewhat of an oddity. Unlike most lens cases, it opens to the *front* and not simply on the *top*. This means it's not cylindrical, and instead the opening flap is sloped upwards on the front of the case. The flap is secured with twin zippers on its sides (which are linked together by fabric), as well as with a generous patch of hook-and-loop on the very top of the case. This design enables easier access to the lens, however it also means that the case isn't secure at all when it's not closed up, so do be careful on entry and exit.

One thing that should be reiterated - this thing is called "compact" for a reason, it's a very small case. It can hold my Olympus 50mm f/2 Four Thirds system macro lens along with my Micro 4/3 adapter, but only just. It should be fine for small primes, but even kit lens type DSLR zooms will probably have trouble squeezing into it.
