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 […]

Billingham sent me the SL2 bag
The friendly people at Billingham sent me their Billingham SL2 bag. It’s a bag that is designed for the SL2 – and SL – specifically and it is only available at official Leica stores. Until now, I always brought my SL in either a Billingham 225, a Hadley small, or a huge Think Tank trolley. […]
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 […]
More Billies arrive
Billingham is on fire lately. With the increase in mirrorless camera systems Billingham has released a couple of new photo bags. I was happy to receive three new bags to give them a spin: the Hadley Large Pro, the Hadley Small Pro and the 72. The Hadley Large Pro may not be the most interesting […]
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 […]
New funky Billingham colour
My friends from Degreeff & Partner informed me that the Billingham Hadley Digital, Hadley Small and Hadley Pro will be available in selected stores in the colour Neon Red. Maybe not your cup of tea if you’re a street shooter, but for the hipsters that don’t like khaki, this might be good news. As you […]
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 old man and the hat
Last week I’ve been shooting in Prague, which gave me the chance to test two of the new Billingham bags I received to review. I liked the L2 and 1.4 both quite a bit and I already can say I prefer the L2 over my own Hadley small. Anyway: Prague has a decent metro system […]
More Billies!
Today I received three new Billingham bags for a review. The Dutch distributor Degreef&Partner liked my idea of reviewing the most popular Billingham bags so much, they decided to just send me a few. I’ll be busy in the few weeks. I already can tell you: that L2 is a pretty sweet bag. Very well […]
