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.

Here is that update. The friend I gave the Hadley Small Pro to loves it. She gets her Nikon D7200, battery charger, spare battery, cleaning kit, and two lenses, in it with room left over for another small lens, or external flash, or such. If her system grows, over time, she may need a bigger bag, but this thing covers her current needs well. Billingham quality is as evident in this Small Pro as In the other Billingham bags I own. I am planning on getting a 335 soon, for the kit I will be using on future travels. I will let you know how that goes then.

My Billingham Hadley Large bag has the same shallow depth as this Billingham Hadley Small Pro bag. I get a Nikon D750-5.55” x 4.45”-to fit in it...a bit snugly, but it fits. That is why I am considering this Small Pro as a gift for a friend who uses a slightly smaller Nikon D7200. The bag will stretch a bit to accept the camera, and hold some extra gear. My friend doesn’t have a lot of gear, but this bag should take what she does have. She wants a small, thin, bag, but needs a roomy one. This Small Pro seems to fit the bill. I will post an update after Xmas.

Received mine, very elegant and serves its purpose for the camera and lenses plus your everyday things that could be accommodate. I just wish the bottom part of it has some floor protection from dust and dirt rugged type, but I guess hadley bags aren't meant to be put on the floor

I have had my small pro for for almost a year now and I have to say this is a very good bag for daily carry — especially during the summer when you don't want to get all sweaty with a big backpack. I also love how durable, lightweight and fairly easy to clean the bag is. To help you get a feel of what it can carry, here is the list of things I put into this bag during my recent trip to Bangkok (I carried this bag and a small carry-on luggage): - a x100f - 3 batteries - a 5000mA powerbank - a small umbrella - two kenko filters - a pen - lens cleaning tools (blower brush and cloth) - a pair of sunglasses - a travel adapter w/2 USB cables The only thing I wish I can bring along with this bag would be a small tripod — but that's too much to ask for for a cool wee bag like this one.

Over the past couple of decades I've had to carry a bag, mainly full of medical stuff for my various complaints. I'm also a reasonably keen photographer and do some technical photography for my work. Over the years I have used a series of 'MOLLE' style bags, mainly American made by Maxpedition but these have been becoming increasingly 'militarised' over the years and as I spend a great deal of time in the 3rd World carrying an obviously American bag of military style is no longer safe. All my stuff, plus my travel camera goes into the 'small pro' bag and with its removable strap and expandable pockets it's an absolutely first class 'man bag' for flights and travel and my more sophisticated camera gear can live in the padded inner and ride in the hold and be transferred to the bag 'when I get there'... It's comfortable capricious and easy to live with and nothing 'out East' has yet decided to make a meal of it. A great bag, keep going (I've just ordered the larger 'pro' bag because this one is not quite big enough... I shall review that one after it's been used a bit.

My absolute favourite camera bag. The quality is outstanding, with looks to match. The thing that I found most surprising, is just how much I can carry in it, currently I have an Olympus 35mm camera with lens attached, and two additional lenses, and a Fuji x100F with grip and l bracket attached, and the two conversion lenses. And that’s just in the main pocket. The front pockets are like caverns, I manage to carry 4 roles of 35mm film, wallet, phone, small flash for the Fuji, battery, sd cards, cleaning cloths shutter release cable, lens pen and hotshot level. The reason the front pockets are so good, is that unlike most bags they are completely mounted on the outside of the bag, so filling them doesn’t take space from the compartment. This bag goes everywhere with me, and it has thatbfeel that it will last for years, possibly even a life time. In fact it’s so good, I should probably order a larger bag to take a laptop, and my mirrorless kit
