About Billingham:

Billingham are a family owned company, manufacturing camera bags for the world’s photographers since 1973 alongside a range of leisure and laptop bags. All bags are made in the West Midlands area of England, a region famous for manufacturing. A core reason for Billingham’s longevity is the fact that from the start, the Billingham family were determined that their products would always be made to the very highest standards from the best available materials to provide high levels of protection for their valued contents.

A notable feature of Billingham camera bags is that they are made from a distincive 3-layer waterpoof canvas that never needs reproofing. They also feature genuine top grain leather and solid brass details.

Like any premium product, the quality of materials, design and craftsmanship that goes into creating a Billingham means that it represents a significant investment. It’s important that they don’t just look beautiful, but that they do their job of protecting equipment wherever they are and whatever they’re being used for – year in and year out.

I bought the pockets via Billingham's website. After I placed the order I realised I had requested the wrong colour combination. A quick email exchange with Billingham got the order adjusted to the correct colour. So full marks from me for Billingham's customer service.

I have several Billingham products, one bag nearly 40 years old. There is a quality and robustness that in my opinion cannot be beaten. I like the understated and unflashy finish which does not highlight the very expensive optics within.

I have the old Hadley Pro (purchased almost 10 years ago) and recently purchased the Rucksack 35. With Billingham products, I've found that the premium you pay goes towards the materials and craftsmanship. The way their products naturally wear with daily use look great and my bags have been holding well. I used my Hadley Pro as my main bag throughout my undergraduate and post-graduate studies and it looks like it will still stand up to many additional years of use. Although the price and design may not be for everyone, Billingham is generally the first name I mention to anyone who asks me for camera or daily-use bag recommendations. I haven't had to contact customer service yet, so I can't comment on that. Shipping was fast! From GB to Canada in as little as 3 days!

I have an old Billingham bag and the base an inserts were passed their best and I stopped using it.Now I have purchased a new inside base and inserts and now it feels like new and I am using again and I had forgotten how much loved it. It is now back as an old friend.

Remarkably easy to shoulder, even when heavily loaded. Much easier than slimmer bags. The 'stay open' feature works very well and it appears to be very well made.

Such a great idea to add some expansion to an existing Billingham bag. It’s easy to attach and remove with a very handy amount of room for additional accessories or a lens. It has the usual superb Billingham build quality so will last a lifetime. All in all an excellent and useful buy. Delivery was fast and the item was beautifully packaged.

Billingham bags are renowned for there standard of workmanship and quality. These are niche bags considering the plethora available using modern materials, however they will no doubt outlast the majority with heavy use. My oldest bag now close to 30 years old and still going. If you’re hill walking etc with heavy kit a backpack is the obvious choice, however landscapers with minimal kit, wedding and generalist photographers etc will find these bags don’t scream camera kit or come with the numerous straps to trip on in congested or confined areas.

I sent my 25 yr old Photo Hadley to have the leather edging replaced, amazing turnaround and the bag was returned looking like new carefully packed in a box. 5 start service!!

I was very pleased with service I received. However the replacement clogball which you provided is large for this size of bag. It does the job but it's much larger than the original. It does not easily pass through the hole on the strap.

Now as a professional photographer I have been buying their bags for over 35 years. The quality is astounding and I still have useable bags from all those years ago. It’s all in the materials and workmanship which is outstanding. This briefcase is mane out of Fybrenyte which is a rather unpleasant man made fibre. It feels thin and abrasive and not very nice to the touch. I prefer the canvas that they have used since the beginning and will not be buying products made with this material. This is a very important issue as the thing that distinguishes Billingham and the very reason we pay extra for their products is because of the quality of materials. There are plenty of products out there made of plastic. Please Billlinghsm do not go down this route.

Hi Philip, Thanks for your feedback. In most of our bags we do offer canvas and FibreNyte options and intend to continue with this. The bag you purchased is available in both options. We offer FibreNyte as it is even more hard wearing and colour fast than our canvas, and many customers prefer it, but if you prefer to stick with the canvas we completely understand. Thank you for you feedback. Kind regards, Billingham Team
