Billingham 72 Camera Bag

£110/$140 www.billingham.co.uk

THIS BAG is beautifully crafted from choices of threelayer waterproof canvas or synthetic Fibrenyte with top-grain leather and brass details, including the studs, rivets and strap loops. The neck strap is removable and there’s a belt loop at the rear, but no top carrying handle. Internal dimensions are 110x90x140mm; the bag is quite weighty for its size, at 460g.

A quick-release brass ‘Clogball’ and leather fastening strap enables one-handed opening and closing of the cover flap. This reveals the main compartment with an adjustable and removable divider, which is large enough to accommodate a small-to-medium mirrorless body and standard zoom lens, or smaller items. A front pocket is also accessed via the same flap.

The bag is well finished and comes in a range of colour combos including khaki and tan, black and tan, black, sage and chocolate or a lively burgundy and chocolate.
