I do have a Domke, and while I think I look like an idiot in it, it is very convenient if I'm going to be moving a lot, such as around a demonstration or a crowded event. In that case I stick a couple of extra lenses in the pockets, or maybe an extra lens and a flash, along with some extra memory cards and cleaning cloth and carry two bodies with lenses, one around my neck and one in my hand. However, at the end of the shoot I have my trusty bag to stuff it all in before I go for lunch, etc. So - a vest can be veeery useful in certain circumstances, but I doubt I use it more than 5-10% of the time. -- Cheers, Rick
