Review text:
The Domke Curve 20 is part of their "Urban" range, and it is a very big, and deep shoulder bag, capable of taking anything you could put inside. It is one of Domke's less traditional bags, so no canvas or webbing to be seen anywhere. It is made in conjunction with, i believe, Kata, and the bag shares similar material, and the same Modi-Vers divider system, so if you like Kata bags, then this could be one for you.

Having only used the bag once, it does appear to be very comfortable, even fully loaded, mainly due to the rubber non-slip strap, and ergonomic curved side, which fits your hip very well. I managed to fit just about all of my digital equipment inside this one, 2 bodies, 5 lenses, a flashgun and memory cards, etc, and i've only got the bag roughly set up to fit my gear, it really is up to you how you adjust the main compartment. With the bag being so deep, it easily swallows pro sized bodies, and i guess with more separators you could put lenses under the bodies as well.
The bag handles have a novel clip together idea, which seems to work well, no velcro in sight, and i had no problems carrying the bag.
That strap also has separate tripod carrying straps, so a tripod goes across the top of the bag. The bag has moulded plastic feet, which go from front to back on the bottom of the bag, which keep the bag off the floor nicely.
I think overall that this bag is too big for day to day usage, but when you do need a large bag to take everything (weddings etc), then this bag is perfect.

Dislikes about the bag:
