The positives first: The bag is gorgeous wertig, wonderful to look at and touch, excellent workmanship, very well thought out - a dream. So have to look a camera bag, I thought - until I had my equipment indoors. When I walked around a bit in the apartment (there were only 2 digital SLRs, one with Tele), I got a little back pain (admittedly, I have a bad back). It was on the belt. This is made of beautiful natural material but neither he is padded, yet he has a shoulder piece that would distribute the pressure somewhat. For this reason, the bag went back. Very expensive it is on top of everything, but Billingham's just the Rolls Royce of the reporter bags, and I find it in principle also be good if such a part time does not come from China or Thailand, but is made from start to finish here in Europe. Also impressive is the 5-year warranty, reminds all a bit on the Barbour service, who are also from England. - So who is young and strong and does not make the bag full, is certainly satisfied with the good pieces. The material looks to me as if keeping it for many years. For the price I must however deduct a star. A Rolls Royce can not afford a mistake.
