About this bag

The 225 has recently undergone a substantial re-design with a number of new features. The main compartment now includes four extra full depth pockets. The single zip top opening has been retained but has also been reprofiled, so that it is now possible for the zip panels to lie behind the inside pockets, so forming the Billingham TukTop. In use the zip can remain open and protected with the main flap. The simple zip path ensures long, trouble-free life. The adjustable Delta shoulder sling comes complete with a leather and neoprene SP15 shoulder pad. An 8-15 Superflex and a Flap are included.

What fits inside

1 dslr, 2 lenses

The bag can additionally fit an external flash in the front zippable pocket and two items about the size of a deck of cards in the front pouches (e.g. iPod). I love the style and "feel" of this bag, and carry it around almost every day. I have larger and more versatile bags as well, but this is the one I choose for day-to-day use. It can comfortably carry anything from the camera body and one lens up to five, and none of the configurations feels too uncomfortable. Can also fit an external flash (or alternatively, small umbrella, which I usually choose). Access to the inner compartment is not super-fast, but it is possible to choose between the top flap and the inner zip able flaps (here seen tucked behind the pockets along with the inner handle). The latter provides faster access but doesn't look as stylish. Of course, one can use both for maximum protection of equipment inside from rain, etc. thanks to Arkku for review

What works

Superior style, comfortable to carry, very versatile for its size and weight.

Room for improvement

Not very quick to access in the typical carry-configuration.
