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 445 is the second Billingham bag I’ve bought - different sizes/styles, not because there was an issue with the first. Quality is second to none, they feel incredibly well-made, with no imperfections or defects in sight. The design is very timeless and well-thought out, with simple to operate straps and features. They take a bit of getting used to, but that’s because they’re designed to be difficult to undo and steal from if you’re not familiar with them. Inside material is all of high quality too, and the removable dividers make it easy to suit the bag to your kit. My only slight complaint would be that some bags are available in more colour combos than others. For example my smaller bag is Chocolate and Burgundy but the 445 isn’t available in that colour. Having said that, the similar design language between the whole range means that most different combinations still look good together. I’d recommend any of Billingham’s bags and I likely won’t ever buy a different brand… they’re just too good.

I am so very pleased with my Billingham 445 bag! The quality of the material and workmanship is absolutely superb. The camera bag exudes confidence and I am sure it will last for many, many years. The web site and online ordering system by Billingham is first rate and I received a confirmation of shipping the very next day. They subsidized the shipping cost and delivery by UPS was first class. Delivery from the UK to Winnipeg, Canada was 3 days and I was amazed. Like Christmas, lol. I love the larger 445! It holds my Nikon D500, with the extra battery grip and 16-80mm lens attached. I purchased the V Bridge Insert as an extra and it supports the lens wonderfully. I also have a Tamron 70-210mm lens, flash, pack of 4 filters and lots of other accessories included in the 445. The Billingham 445 is so perfect for a major outing or for travel. I would highly recommend this bag, or any Billingham product, to any photographer. After spending a good sum on all my camera gear, getting a first class camera bag is justified. Thank you Billingham!

Recently bought the 445, finished Sage FibreNyte / Tan Leather, which I think is an absolutely stunning colourway. This is probably the bag I should've purchased in the first place, rather than working my through various other products over the years. This will be undoubtably from now on, be my "go to" travelling shoot bag.
