Dumac is known as the news photographer Logo, the White House Press Photographers Association royal photography bag, known as "where there is news, there is Dumac", founded by photojournalist Domke, once it came out, it was praised by many front-line journalists, quickly became popular, once it was the pass of the news reporting industry, the official official supplier of the 2012 London Olympics and the 2014 Wimbledon Championships.
In the late 70s, the Nikon F2 was basically the standard for photojournalists, so the F-2 camera bag designed specifically for this camera became a classic, abandoning the cumbersome zipper design and replacing it with full Velcro, allowing users to take out the camera in a very short time to complete the shooting.
Dumac and Buckingham, Crumpler, National Geographic are the same main design and personality rather than function-oriented photography bags, but compared with the latter three, Dumac photography bags are more cost-effective, and their prices are generally between 400-2000 yuan, if you try to show your taste through the photography bag, but are more sensitive to the price, Dumac is undoubtedly one of the best choices, of course, cost-effective is only relatively speaking, compared with other functional photography bags, Dumac doesn't have much of an advantage in price.
The fly in the ointment is that there is a big gap between the Dumac camera bag and the same level manufacturers in the waterproof, which is not unrelated to the large area of canvas materials used on the Dumac camera bag, although the canvas is better than the nylon fabric in softness, comfort and fit, but the shortcomings of the canvas are unavoidable, although the Dumac tries to make up for this shortcoming by applying wax on the canvas, but with the passage of time, the wax-coated waterproof layer on the surface of the camera bag will gradually wear out until it disappears, and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
Dumac photography bag classification is relatively clear, according to the applicable objects and applicable scenes, there are Classic (classic), Journalist (journalist), Sachel (school bag) three series, of which Classic is its most classic shoulder canvas photography bag, the price is generally 600 yuan to 1500 yuan, using the letter F with numbers naming, Dumac in the early years of the most classic F-2 belongs to the series. Since shoulder bags are usually limited in height, their horizontal width (thickness) is generally more than 15 cm in order to ensure capacity, and the carrying comfort is not as high as that of ordinary crossbody bags.
As a representative model in the classic series, the F-803 is designed to be quite practical, especially suitable for people who carry a mirrorless camera with one or two small lenses, and the price is about 1000 yuan. The surface of the camera bag is made of waxed canvas fabric, the front of the bag has four pockets and multiple handles, which can be carried on the back, and the main compartment is partitioned with Velcro, which is quite flexible to access the camera.
Designed primarily for professional journalists, the Journalist series improves on the waterproofing of the classic series with the widespread use of high-density nylon fabrics and the addition of added sides to the bag's outer pockets to improve the overall sealing of the bag.
Sachel schoolbag series is mainly used for daily commuting, the style design is relatively fashionable, the material is all made of canvas fabric, the width of the bag is about 10cm, and the back is more close and relaxed, but the origin of Dumac photography bags are in the United States, and there is no official purchase channel in China, and it is more troublesome to buy.
