Billingham 335 MKII Camera Bag First Impressions:

I’m sure many of you have heard by now that Billingham has released updated versions of their 5 Series bags.  Thanks to Billingham, I was able to get my hands on the new 335 MKII bag, which I’m quite happy about since it is similar in size to my daily bag for my Leica SL3, which is the Billingham 307.  So, I’ve been using the 335 MKII instead of my 307 for the past couple of weeks, and while I will post a full review in the near future, I thought for now, I would share my first impressions of it.

Thanks for taking the time to read my first impressions!  If my first impressions helped, please consider purchasing from any of the links mentioned in this review, which in turn, helps support this site.  I get a small commission but it will not cost you anything extra.  Thank you!

Billingham Hadley Digital: Great Choice For a Leica M Kit

Hey everyone.  So, as some of you know, the Leica SL2 is my main camera.  It’s what I use for my work, and the L mount system, in general, is what I use most of the time along with Fuji X mount too.  With that said, since the release of the Leica M11, I have been using it a lot as well.  I wouldn’t say I’m switching back to the M system as I am definitely dedicated to L mount.  However, I am using it enough that I guess a few of you noticed, and have sent me messages asking me what bag I’m using with it.  There are tons of great bags out there, and I don’t dispute that at all but I feel the Billingham Hadley Digital really fits me best.  So, I thought I’d write something up about it along with an explanation of why I chose this bag in particular, and why I feel it’s just right for my Leica M gear.  Of course, if this works for M gear, it’ll work for any other mirrorless set up of similar size.

Billingham Eventer MKII Camera Bag Review:

The Eventer has been in the Billingham line of bags for years and years but recently, a smaller, Mini Eventer was released (review here).  In addition to the change in size, new features were also introduced, so it only makes sense that sooner or later, Billingham was going to introduced a new version of the larger Eventer with the latest features from its smaller sibling.  Well, the Eventer MKII has been announced today (March 31st 2022), and thanks to Billingham, I was able to get a review sample to test beforehand.  Here’s my full review of it.

Billingham Mini Eventer Camera Bag Review:

If you’re in the market for a new camera bag, you’ll probably come across Billingham.  Billingham has been around for decades, and they make some of the best bags on market.  They aren’t cheap initially but that saying, “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here.  These bags are designed to last what may seem like forever, so in the long run, you do save quite a bit of money.  They also have tons of designs that will fit nearly every photographer’s needs.  Recently, they added another bag to their collection: the Mini Eventer.  Thanks to Billingham, I was able to spend some time with it, and here’s what I think of it.
