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 ordered my third Billingham bag; I had the 550 and still have a 20-year-old 555 but I ordered next to my backpacks an Hadley Large Pro / Black FibreNyte / Black Leather as a custom-made version. I combined, because of the custom-made, with an orange insert, two sets of orange dividers and 4 orange flaps. I adjusted (height of 14,5 cm for 15-35 mm; 24-70 mm or 85 mm, etc.) two of the dividers to be able to make two levels in the bag when necessary. Further, I ordered Shoulder Pads - SP50 (Black Leather / Nickel Coated Studs) and Waist Strap Attachment - Black Webbing / Black Leather. Custom-made order was handled very fast and I was impressed by the quality of the bag and the very good-looking “Dutch” Orange interior. With the two levels I created I have an RF 15-35 mm F2.8, RF 24-70 mm F2.8 or an 85 mm F1.2 in the two lower made dividers on both sides and in the middle laying flat an RF 70-200 mm F2.8. With the flaps, I made a cover of one divider and in the middle (two flaps each, one on the back and one on the front of the bag) to have a stable and secure platform for 1 or two cameras with lenses attached. Thus 3-4 lenses plus 1-2 cameras, a MacBookPro 14” and accessories is possible. I was getting very good support from Mel during the order and delivery, and I can only conclude that Billingham is still producing high quality and beautiful shoulder bags since my first 550 in 1983.
