Billingham wanna-buys!

[clubgrit]

f-stop series, high enough, lightweight (both below 900 grams)... I can fit in my Canon 7d/5d mounted with 135mm f/2 on the L2, but it makes the bag misshapen at the top. With the f-stop series, it is high enough even with a 200mm mounted. I don't know about a 70-200, I am not a fan yet of this popular lens, although I think it can fit but unmounted.

I still keep my L2 for smaller stuff, still a great bag.

hi guys,

i wanna get a billingham khaki coloured cos it looks awesome and that after i got my 550d bg, it just doesnt fit so well into my 5MDH. keeps feeling like its gonna explode. What would you guys recommand?

1. 550D + BG, 430exII, 17-55mm

2. 550D + BG, 580exII, 17-55mm, 70-200mm f2.8

can recommend me 2 bags for these 2 setups? 1st setup is what i have now. 2nd setup is what i am planning to get in the near future. if was thinking bout just using the 1st setup 1. then have a lowepro fast pack for the 2nd setup as i would bring a tripod along.

any recommendations? thanks.

I am eyeing on F1.4, any indicative price?

I forgot the exact price, but if I remember correctly $300 - $350 from distributor ...

the L2 and f/stop look good!

would the L2 fit in with my BG? i think the 5 series is good for if i have a 70-200. think i'll get a backpack for the 70-200 instead.

where is PK Chan place?

Some of you guys reccomend buying from UK cause it cheaper and now with the low pound...

But where can we buy them in London ? ,because my parents are there and if its cheap may get another billingham :lovegrin:

 

[Spaniard]

It not much cheaper in London anyway. The most about $30 cheaper. That after VAT. Hong Kong will be cheaper.
