Review on Billingham Hadley Shoulder FibreNyte Leather by Andrew Kay

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best camera bag I own

This is my third Billingham bag, I have one larger and one smaller. That's exactly what I need for everyday life - small, light, comfortable to wear on the hip. I have since purchased an Avea shoulder pad and bag which makes the bag even more versatile. It is ideal for rangefinder-sized cameras and accommodates one camera and multiple lenses or two cameras (Leica M10s) with lenses attached. The pockets are deep and large, and there's room for an 11-inch iPad Pro between the padded lining and the back of the case. By adding a top handle, trolley case, water resistance and a sealed rear pocket for travel documents, Billingham has created the perfect personal carry-on for airline travel, and it doesn't scream like a camera bag. The build quality is second to none. I've bought countless camera bags over the years and finally found the perfect bag for everyday use and travel.

Pros
  • Top Front Rain Flap | Handcrafted leather and brass parts
