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 got this bag for my Leica M and I should probably got the binocular-bag instead. In the heavy rain we got in Norway, water comes trough the zipper. I wish there was a “flap” over instead like the binocular small bag. Other than that the quality is of course perfect. But I mainly got this because of the rain protection. So I’m a bit disappointed.

This is the first Billingham bag that I have been disappointed by. I find that not having a way to stick in dividers just makes no sense. There’s way too much room around my FuJifilm x100V but I didn’t buy an expensive bag to protect my camera just to throw my keys on top of it! It’s also sized to be just a little too small to throw my iPad mini or e-reader in with a case on. Nothing seems to fit well :(

Hi Lillian, Sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with the bag - if the bag is unused with tags attached you might still be able to return it to the retailer you bought it at depending on their policies? In terms of the iPad or e-reader we make a taller version of this bag called the 'Airline Stowaway' that would be big enough to fit an iPad mini or most e-readers. In terms of the keys - have you tried one of the other pockets. Maybe the pocket underneath the front flap? I hope this assists and little and thank you for your feedback which we'll pass on to our designers. Kind regards, Mike

This is my fifth Billingham bag. My other ones are larger. I bought this one so that I could carry my (comparatively small) Leica Q easily and discretely with me wherever I go, all the time. This is important to me because, living as I do in London, and being a keen street photographer, I find that I simply need always to have my camera with me. Like all my other Billingham bags, this one is beautifully made: I confidently expect it to outlast me! John Llewellyn
