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've had a Billingham 335 for over 20 years and it's still showing little signs of wear. I've taken it all over the world, Australia, Canada, America and Europe and I've never had any issues whatsoever. Despite changing from a Nikon full frame set up with a number of 2.8 lenses to Fujifilm X-T4, I wanted a bigger bag to carry essential items other than my camera gear; I've gone for the 555. Still the same excellent build quality and classic styling, but now I can get everything I need for for my travels, including loads of photo equipment. It's functional and looks great. I think this one may just see me out and they look better with age....unlike me!! I wouldn't buy anything else.

I needed a larger bag than the ones I’ve been using for my Leica M gear. These are all Billingham, I wouldn’t buy anything else. I discovered the Leicaflex SL bodies and lenses after reading Brian Bowers book . I decided on a black 555 as I didn’t need the side pockets of the 550. The bag is big, but not too heavy empty. It holds two Leicaflex SL bodies and 35/50/90/180mm lenses in the central section along with rolls of film and two light meters (the ones in my SL bodies do not work and the correct battery has been unobtainable for 40+ years. The front zip pocket holds a Filofax Deskfax for work purposes and other pockets hold various items. The Leicaflex gear is seriously heavy, so it needs a very substantial British made bag to carry it. This really is a fabulous bag. Expensive but quality lasts. I’ve no need for another bag.

I got this bag recently and have not been disappointed. It is a big bag that that fits my requirements. Exceptionally well made and has the advantage of being weatherproof. I also have the 2 Delta end pockets which are equally well made. I always wanted a Billingham bag, they are not the cheapest bag around but when you see the quality, you understand why. I liked it so much I bought a 225 bag as well. This means that I have options depending on what kit I need to carry. I have used other brands of bags over the years but none have fitted my requirements until now. They will see me out, they look great and will when they age a bit. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
