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.

It's a well-made camera bag that may actually outlast me. It's a little pricey, but I paid less by ordering it from the UK. The local (US) camera store had it priced about $50 higher. I like the size and the built-in spot for my 12 inch iPad.

First off I must put this at the top as I had initially ordered a strap pad and at the last minute emailed Billingham requesting a change of color which was done just before it was shipped out. 5 star Customer service! The bag is beautiful and wonderfully made. A true winner.

I just received my Hadley One today. I am beyond thrilled. I have owned many camera bags and this one is the finest of them all. With the full liner, it perfectly fits 2 Leica bodies with lenses attached, and two additional lenses. The front pockets will hold odds and ends. The bag exudes top quality. The fastening leather is stiff and will soften over time, I applied some Obenauf's leather conditioner to both and they softened up nicely as a hastener, and the conditioner adds a bit of lubrication to allow closure just fine. A profound thank you for making such a perfect product.

I'm obsessed with bags. No idea why. Gotta have a hobby I suppose. This bag is one of the very finest things I own, bags or otherwise. The quality is absolutely on point in every single detail. The hardware is exquisite. My family business is leather, and the leather used throughout is top notch full grain. I've ragged this bag across Europe, its seen dirt, grime and filth for a year now and it still looks beautiful. Might even give it a brush and sponge soon, but it doesn't need it. Absolutely one of the finest things I've ever bought.

I ordered my Hadley One bag directly from Billingham. It was delivered in just a few days to the remote state of Idaho. Examining the bag, i found the material quality and workmanship to be excellent throughout. The removable shoulder strap is a major plus. The bag easily earns a five-star rating. If the snaps on the front pockets were replaced with Velcro tabs, I would rate it at 5-plus.

Have one, love it. Carry two film cameras plus meter & extra film. LeicaM3 with 50mm lens, and MP with 35mm lens. Case perfectly suited for cross chest carry, with case front - easy to reach in and out while shooting. Very Suberb construction...
