Oops, I now notice that the F-5XB has a center zip closure under the flap.
Sounds great for security, but in fact just
makes quick movement of camera out of and into the bag a pain. Neither Amazon
nor the Domke site show it clearly, but
good old B&H show the truth.

F-5XA has the same design, but would be even worse to use, due to the narrow
top.
