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.

The Billingham S4 is, by APS-C mirrorless standards, a large bag. It is flexible and extremely well padded and well made, as usual for Billingham. It has the distinct advantage that its depth allows a camera body and attached lens to be put into the bag in a vertical position with the camera body in a 'front to back' orientation allowing a good amount of space for two other medium to large lenses. I can easily carry a Fuji XT-4 with attached lens plus a 50-140mm zoom and 10-24mm zoom plus teleconverter. The TUK-TOP feature also ensures that equipment can be removed without any possibility of scratching by the zips. The front dump pocket and rear zipped compartment are useful for bits and pieces. My only small criticism is that the closure straps have no flexibility in length so the contents must fit, but in practice this is not a deal breaker. Excellent bag.

Excellent quality bag as always. The bag is just the right size for a full frame camera with a small zoom and still enough room for a few accessories. The double zip under the cover flap adds good security. Comfortable to wear all day without feeling like its dragging you down.

The S4 bag is very well made, but this is not surprising because I am a long time user of Billingham so already know that their camera bags are simply the best you can buy. My original Billingham bag (a rucksack) remains in regular use after almost 20 years and was used on a daily basis up until my semi retirement. The S4 is my latest bag (with two others in between) and it is surprisingly spacious and easily holds my Nikon D850 with a 24-70 lens attached. If you need to carry additional lens, a flash unit etc. then the S4 can accommodate them and you would use the supplied dividers to create compartments within. The padding is excellent and access via the top zip is straightforward. The S4 adds to my other Billingham bags and will no doubt serve me well for the next 20 years. Highly recommended.

This S4 bag is as beautifully made as all my earlier ones. I previously had a 225 and a 335 when I had different camera systems. I switched to Fujifilm and wanted a bag to hold my X-T3 fitted with its battery pack, 100-400mm lens and 1.4 teleconverter. They fit into this bag perfectly. If I'm not using this large lens there is plenty of room for my X-T3, X-Pro2 and assorted lenses. I also have the L2 bag which I use when I only want to carry either camera fitted with a 18-55mm and another lens. Delighted with this purchase.

I will echo Werner C's comments. Bought this bag to house 3 Fujifilm X-T1 cameras with zooms mounted, and the large back-to-front dimension of the S4 allows this quite easily. I was unable to achieve this arrangement with my Hadley Pro, but who needs an extra $400 lying around anyway (Eastpondia humor)?

A spacious, high-quality and beautiful bag with plenty of space. I use the bag for an Fujifilm X-T2 or X-T3 with a mounted18-55 lens, with a 10-24 and a 55-200. There is still room for all sorts of little things. Clear buy recommendation.
