Product is used to carry a Nikon D300 and 3 lens.
Well made and very functional

Great craftsmanship, well made bag. Great fit and comfortable on you shoulder. This bag is little small for DSLR, it's probably more for M43 systems. It would fit tablets like iPad but not a regular size laptop. For me it was little bit too small. I returned this bag and got me one size up 335.
I deducted one star for being too expensive.

I was really looking forward to getting this bag, but in the end I made teh decision to return it. It's quite a bulky bag - when you're wearing it it sticks out really far from the body and didn't feel very comfortable. Also the inside is really hard to customize as it only comes with one foam divider and one lens divider which was actually too small for my lenses. I would have needed to buy some extra foam dividers - something I don't feel should be required with a bag of this price. The construction and quality of materials did seem good, but I just didn't like the shape and found the space inside hard to work with.

This is a very well made case, not the cheap stuff that permeates the marketplace. Look at the dimensions when you buy, and pick the size that's right for you. This will hold my D700 with a normal zoom attached, as well as a flash and a couple of other lenses. Also room for my iPad and a number of odds and ends. I wanted this as a sole carry on for personal travel, and it suffices well. Also good as my camera / entertainment bag on extended business travel overseas. I highly recommend this Billingham bag.

Nice design and great size that can pass as a "Hand bag" on a flight allowing for a second full size carry on.
All pockets are in the "right" place. I use this bag for my Hasselblad 501CM with an 80mm lens mounted, a spare 100mm lens and three film backs, one mounted on the body and two in the individual pockets which suspiciously appear to have been designed for the A12 Hasselblad backs. There's plenty of room left for additional rolls of film, a light meter, etc. The design allows for quick access with both hands while on the shoulder strap and it feels secure without risk of slippage.

I bought this bag after having bought a larger backpack for my gear, because I wanted something for those photo days when I just don't need quite as much stuff with me. And, nevertheless, it holds a lot... I have my Canon 7d, a couple lenses and a bunch of smaller miscellaneous stuff in it... which does make it quite heavy. The bag is very durable and I expect to have it for years.

Truly, this is the Leica of camera bags.

Now I'm not rich enough to afford a Leica, but I was able to splurge on this bag and let me tell you- it's great. The workmanship is just superb. It smells like... England. And I've never even been to England. Real leather, top notch construction and materials, well thought out design... Using this thing is just a joy. Not to mention it's pretty good looking to boot! The only real downside I've come across is that opening it is a put-it-down-on-the-table-and-use-two-hands sort of operation, but it's in a rugged sort of way, not an ill-concieved or poorly designed sort of way.

It holds a heck of a lot of gear, too! Granted, I'm a Micro Four Thirds user, so my gear is smaller than most, but I can comfortably hold in this bag a GH1 body, Minolta SRT-201 body, a Zoom H4n and 4 mid sized lenses. It'll also hold my iPad, various batteries, chargers, film and still has room to boot! Granted, that's a pretty full bag and I'd be unlikely to take such a large assortment of gear out on any given day, but it's nice to know that if I ever have to trek into the jungle for a year, this bag will carry everything I need.

Again, I can't stress enough just how well built the thing is. It's so freaking sturdy. Though I'd hate to ruin its lovely exterior, I'm certain this bag would thrive in a down and dirty environment.

Alright, I'm just gushing now. If you're on the fence about it, buy this bag. One of the best purchases I've ever made in my life. Worth every penny.

I recently purchased this bag for my Canon 5D Mark II set-up. Currently it houses the body, a 16-35mm 2.8L and a slough of accessories, and there's still room for another large lens.

Pros: Looks great, light weight and hold a surprisingly large amount of gear.

Cons: Strap locks are a little difficult to open when you're in a rush.
