My smorgasbord of camera bags I've sold and disposed of, it fit together really nothing more or dissolved partially autonomously on.
Now I have two photo rucksacks and 2 Billingham bags to be flexible for all.
Billingham are on the one hand the Hadley Small and 225, both in the almost same color combination, black-brown and black-black, because me this liked most.
Both in Canvas, the FibreNyte is too coarse.
In between, I still had the 335 and the Packington, but both for system camera gear too big.
Processing Billingham bags is perfect.
5 year guarantee say a lot about the confidence of the company in your product, the Hadley Small bought in specialist shops and Packington here at Amazon.
Why buy in stores, easily, I could try out my equipment if everything fits in and does not have to send back and forth.
The whole has about 1.5 hours lasted, it had quite a few bags, priority Billingham, serve, but my photo dealer has a lot of patience and knows that I usually then buy.
The small Hadley it then became, priced almost the same as here at Amazon.
But since I do from time to time take with the complete system camera equipment, it had to be a greater Billingham.
Both at the same time was me then but too violent.
Where, however, lasted just 8 weeks and now I have both.
The Billingham 225 has two large front pockets.
In a front pocket, for example, adjusts the flash units Metz 44AF-1 digital, so generous they are cut.
The back of the bag has a compartment which is closed by zipper, size 28x16cm.
In the Billingham 225 there is a front pocket, before the main compartment, zippered pocket, in these two small compartments are again sewn and a large narrow main compartment.
The Billingham 225 has an inside pocket / insert which is fixedly attached to the front and back of a small central seam.
That means it creates two equal-sized compartments for eg filter behind the insert.
Right and left the insert is not attached, here you can eg store 4p battery packs.
The inside pocket / insert has front and rear each have a small flap to cover the camera equipment, so it is further protected and concealed.
The openable zippered entire compartment can here fully opened, will put behind it and the camera can be seen so easily and does not come with the zipper in touch
Size of the insert in cm 15, 19 high and 30lang.
There are provided a Superflex pad of 8/15 and a one piece and an integral strongly padded bottom insert.
But beware, fool the 19cm height, will be safe and well pack all fit in most 15er cushion inserts, otherwise locks the zipper.
Closed the pocket with a large zipper and the entire bag with a large flap with adjustable leather straps.
These straps can be specifically adjusted to the size of camera equipment once it is a little more what you pack.
Many complain about the hassle when opening fast even true but it is very safe from thieves in the fray.
The 5cm broad strap is securely sewn on and power as the entire bag, a very solid impression.
The shoulder pad SP20 already belongs to.
This shoulder pad is a good size and absolutely slip-proof and fits very well the shoulder is not as strong as the SP40 or SP50 padded, nevertheless the bag can be very good wear.
The Billingham 225 consists of extremely well-sewn and water-repellent canvas.
Other manufacturers are either stiff or limp so you will want to pack anything.
Everything fits here in the processing.
The bottom of the bag is equipped with 4 brass feet (black / black version again plated) and leather trim at the corners additionally protected.
4 loops on the bottom are for attaching a tripod with leather straps or backpack strap, both must be purchased separately.
Short term can be carried as a backpack the 225, in the long run but it is very inconvenient, it's just a shoulder bag.
For rail and Tripp here for short distances to the final destination but very suitable if you want to save time the unilateral carry.
The Y-shaped Tragegurtanbringung to the bag effectively prevents the Billingham 225 tilts or dangling from your body, it is loaded on very well.
What I personally think is super the handle, with a clever solution has Billingham found here.
Once going to wear all with Collapsed main flap.
The second is located at the main door, a third strap and you can open the main door to the rear and the handle so install that can be worn open the bag in use or carrying handle is not at all visible when the door is knocked over it.
Then you have only to carry a large belt above the rear.
For what can go in with everything once:
Main compartment insert
1) Olympus O-MD E-M5 with attached handle
2) Olympus Pen E-P5 with VF IV elbow block
3) 2.8-3.5 Zuiko / 14-54II incl. Inverted Gegenlichblende attached to the camera or the M.ZUIKO 2.8 / 12-40 incl. Inverted Gegenlichblende.
4) 4.0-5.6 M.ZUIKO / 40-150IIR incl. An attached hood or the new M.ZUIKO 2.8 / 40-150 with an inverted lens hood.
5) M.ZUIKO 1.8 / 25 1.8 / 45th
6) Flash Metz 44 AF-1 digital
External pockets:
Handle for each camera in a bag or flash in the front pocket.
A compact camera such as a Sigma DP1 or DP2 Merrill in the second pocket.
The Olympus OM-D E-M5 fits, without lens, without scheduled complete handle in a front pocket.
When you see what the bag you're as surprised swallows, which is for many determined not so much, but who should bear more?
The Billingham Ideal is 225 for 1 or 2 System cameras + lots of accessories.
The 225 is formally body contoured and dangles in no way rum, made super Billingham.
You also tilts forward when not remove the camera or lens.
Total weight of the ready-empty bag with shoulder pads and the Superflex use 1500gr., It shows little and is consistent for the camera equipment, one knows that everything is stable and has lifted water repellent and can rely on the pocket, because nothing happens.
The good camera equipment is supposed to be super protected, that does not work in a lapprigen 500gr. Bag.
