Billingham made a bag for the Leica SL in the recent past. The SL bag was recently updated with the Leica SL2 bag. Let’s get one thing out of the way first: the SL2 bag is not made for the SL2. No, it’s an updated version of the SL bag and is very suitable for […]

The Billingham Hadley Large Pro review
The Billingham Hadley Large Pro is the biggest bag in the Hadley series and yes, it’s pretty big. The reason I asked for this bag at my contact at Degreef & Partner (the representative of Billingham in the Netherlands) is not because I wanted to carry my M-gear around. Unless you have a lot of […]
The Billingham Hadley Small Pro review
The Billingham Hadley Small has seen the most use of all my camera bags. As far as I’m concerned, this is THE bag for a compact rangefinder system. The Germans would call it ‘die Tasche’. But now, there’s an even better bag on the market: the Hadley Small Pro. My black canvas Hadley Small has […]
The Billingham 72 review
Billingham has always been a brand that is being loved by Leica photographers and other rangefinder shooters. Since the M6 days however, the world of photography has changed dramatically. Traditionally, there were either big (D)SLRs or small rangefinders. Today, we still have DSLRs and rangefinders, but also a whole new range of mirrorless cameras, like […]
The Billingham 225 review
When I switched from a DSLR set to the Leica M9, my Billingham 335 was way too big. I bought the Hadley Digital for day trips and the Billingham Hadley Small for my wedding assignments. But in the years, my gear list expanded. I bought more lenses, but I also found that for very long […]
The Billingham 107 review
The 7-series is one of the newer series of the famous British bag manufacturer and the 107 is the smallest version. If you’re into Leica photography, this is probably the bag that will attract your attention. The individual members of the 7-series have a few things in common: they’re all made out of Fybrenite (meaning […]
The Artisan and Artist ACAM-1000 camera bag review
The Artisan & Artist ACAM 1000 camera bag is the second bag that I bought for my Leica gear, many years ago. I gave it away to someone, some years later. Although I liked the bag, it did not have enough space for non-photographic equipment that I always bring on a wedding. Some food, a […]
The Billingham 1.4 review
The F-stop series are not the most well known Billingham bags. Maybe because the Hadley has been around for a much longer time, or maybe because we haven’t looked yet at the bags properly. After having used the bag for a few weeks, I can say they deserve to be among the Hadley and other […]
The Billingham L2 review
I’m a big fan of the Hadley series and when I started looking for a compact bag that could fit one or two M bodies, a couple of lenses and some accessories, I never spent much time looking at the L2. Why? Well, I just thought it was the same bag as the Leica Combination […]
The Billingham Hadley Small review
The Hadley series is one of the most popular photo bags for rangefinder shooters. Almost every Leica shooter seems to own one of these bags in his or her photographic career. And for a reason: the Hadley is one of the most versatile bags you can buy. It is light, stylish, very sturdy, waterproof and […]
