Tiffen Adds New Ruggedwear Bags to Domke Line


Hauppauge, NY, - The Tiffen Company, the world's premier manufacturer of photographic accessories including well-respected brand name products in the consumer, video, motion picture and television imaging markets, has announced that several new bags that were added to their DOMKE RuggedWear line - the Photo Courier and Quick-Shot Sling are now in stock. These new camera bags are part of the DOMKE line of durable, reliable photographic bags, the preferred bag of the White House Photographers Association for over 30 years.

Domke brings its well-known design & reliability to the new Quick-Shot Sling camera bags. Unlike some conventional camera slings, they are easy to wear, with the weight of the camera gear evenly distributed for maximum comfort. Their unique sling strap is designed to quickly move the bag from back to front, in one easy access motion. A dual zippered top gives instant access to your camera, while a front zipper opens the entire face of the bag for access to everything else. A third Sling-2 front zipper opens a wide pocket for holding cell phones, keys, Domke Photo Courier and Quick-Shot notes, etc. With 2 models, sized to fit most of the popular cameras, Domke's Quick-shot Sling bags make cameras easy to carry. Made of high quality cotton canvas or RuggedWear(TM) waxed canvas and YKK Zippers.

"We are delighted to add the Quick-Shot Sling bags to our DOMKE line," said Andrea Rauch, product manager of the Tiffen DOMKE line. "We've been working with photographers for over 30 years and are pleased to have created the Quick-Shot Sling bags to fill a need," continued Rauch.
