An old Billingham 225 camera bag, very dirty and neglected when bought, and given a scrub with soap and water, followed by application of boot polish and Brasso as appropriate. I admire Billingham bags for their craftsmanship, gear protection, weather proofing, and durability. I have owned several different models. But I have not enjoyed using them, with the possible exception of the Hadley. They are heavy and not the best for access. Plus, they are expensive, as you might expect from the materials used and the impeccable construction. Photographed with a Nikon D90 and AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens.

An old AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 lens on a Nikon D700. This lens has a macro setting which is actually of some value.

Everything manual, including the lens, a Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 on a Nikon D300s. The bag is a Billingham Hadley Original.

Top: Billingham Hadley Pro. Bottom: Billingham 550. Originally Billingham designed and manufactured sturdy waterproof canvas bags for anglers. Then they noticed that photographers were buying their products. Then they got rich. Nikon D700 + AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D lens.

Photographed with a Nikon D700 and a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens.

Canon EOS 30D and Auto Chinon 55mm f/1.7 lens.

Nikon D2Xs. Tamron Di II SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR LD Aspherical (IF) lens, type A16N. The book underneath the specs case and scissors is a novel entitled 'Cherry Tree Lane' by Anna Jacobs which has a good cover photograph by Kateryna Govorushchenko with design by Christina Griffiths.
