Billingham 307

Owner contribution

I love Billingham bags. Having said that, we have overpassed the main limit of this bag: the price tag. But the capacity, the materials and the style of this 307 model is unsurpassed. I have added an internal Super-Flex partition in order to accommodate and protect the 2 lenses not fitted on the cameras. Position of the cameras is with lenses facing downwards which, in my opinion, is the best way to utilize the bag's space and avoid dust on digital sensor. The 2 front pocket are not padded and this is a limit if you intend to store delicate gears (i.e. HD, Media Storage, etc), but it's ok in case you store a compact camera in its protective case. In addition, there is the possibility to add lateral external Delta Pockets to increase the capacity to store small items and accessories. What I like most in this bag is the opening system, which allows me to keep my camera with lens attached holding the bag on my shoulder. Once the double puller zip is fully opened, two integral carbon fibre ‘wands’ create a wide rectangular frame which holds the bag open, maintaining the shape whilst keeping the zip teeth out of the way. This means they have tried and tested the bag for the specific use of a photographer on the move! Well done! I do not know about the wear resistance of the material, but it seems Billingham is famous for this. Thanks to Batman for review
