About Billingham:

Billingham are a family owned company, manufacturing camera bags for the world’s photographers since 1973 alongside a range of leisure and laptop bags. All bags are made in the West Midlands area of England, a region famous for manufacturing. A core reason for Billingham’s longevity is the fact that from the start, the Billingham family were determined that their products would always be made to the very highest standards from the best available materials to provide high levels of protection for their valued contents.

A notable feature of Billingham camera bags is that they are made from a distincive 3-layer waterpoof canvas that never needs reproofing. They also feature genuine top grain leather and solid brass details.

Like any premium product, the quality of materials, design and craftsmanship that goes into creating a Billingham means that it represents a significant investment. It’s important that they don’t just look beautiful, but that they do their job of protecting equipment wherever they are and whatever they’re being used for – year in and year out.

I have accumulated many camera bags over the years and am always on the look out for the perfect one for a particular activity. This is my third Billingham to go with my 335 (20+ years old) and my Hadley (10+ years old). These are still giving good service and used for my DSLR and lenses. I have been looking for a small very portable bag to accommodate my Fuji X100T so that I can safely carry it with me whenever I go walking. I've bought a number of different small bags over the past few years but they've all fallen short, usually one of the dimensions is not quite right, or access is awkward out on the trail. However, the 72 seems to have been made with the X100T very much in mind. It genuinely fits like a glove. I can highly recommend it to fellow X100 users. The height is centimetre perfect to take the camera and its half case together with a JJC lenshood attached. The internal partition can then be positioned to secure the camera snugly and create an additional smaller partition for a polarising filter (for example) to slot in at the side. The spare batteries fit into the pocket at the front. The weight is minimal and the top opening flap is so much more convenient than a zipped flap. I've always liked the ease with which the leather keyhole closures can be fastened and unfastened with one hand. The only slight downside is that (for me) the balance of the bag with camera doesn't permit the bag to be threaded onto a belt and held comfortably. However, the shoulder strap is long enough to use it diagonally over one's head and the strap doesn't dig into the shoulder blade because the overall weight is very low. Finally, the build quality is exquisite.
