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.

Pros: beautiful and great quality materials just like all of Billingham’s stuff. Cons: I keep purchasing these, hoping they will add a degree of comfort for carrying a full bag. Every time I’m disappointed again. It’s just not as comfortable as the bare strap—no matter how hard I try to get used to it. Even the one which is supposedly more comfortable and flexible, is still too hard and digs into my shoulder too much. Also, the SP50 with the Hadley One’s strap is a very tight fit, and won’t go over the buckle prt. It just so happens that the perfect strap length for my needs results in the buckle to be on my shoulder, but since the SP50 won’t fit over it, I’m forced to use a non-ideal strap length or wear the bag lopsided with the pad. For these reasons, I will not be using the pad, and After having purchased three of them over the years and hoping to get used to them, I’ve finally learned my lesson that it is just not a good pad for me, and I will no longer be buying them until Billingham re-designs the pad to be more soft & comfortable on the shoulder.

With the Hadley One camera bag you can fit a lot into it. The extra comfort that the shoulder pad brings is really nice.

Having had Billingham bags for more years than I care to remember I thought I knew about shoulder pads. It turns out that even these seemingly simple item has been improved since I last bought one. I now have an SP50 in chocolate leather to complement my Hadley One. The leather around the edges of the padding is a great improvement on the earlier versions without this added reinforcement. I can thoroughly recommend these shoulder pads.
