Billingham wanna-buys!

[cowmera]

Are those in Tin Cheung Camera HK made in England? Seems cheap

That's because shopping in HK is cheaper.

how to know the authentic one if your looking on b&s section? I saw one that for sale, BNIB. The picture of the bag was attached including the box. But when i went to peninsula store which sells Billingham bags also that the bag doesnt comes with a box and that those boxed ones are made in china and not on england. The salesman also added that those boxed one are fakes. Is it true? Just need your help guys for those who have billingham bags already. Thanks

Using packaging to judge authenticity is pointless nowadays cos there are some fake products from China that comes with a box and instruction booklet. Some of these packaging is very similar to the authentic stuff.

Btw, all the billinghams I bought for myself and my friends in the UK don't come with boxes. What you can do is look at the stitching or advice given by Mr Chan.

Bought a Hadley Pro today from Mr Chan. A friendly man and excellent service from him.He even offered to drive me to the MRT station when it was about to rain but I didnt take up his offer.

Hah, Me and my fre were there ytd after you, how we know cause Mr Chan mention a guy bought a Hadley Pro from him before us (shld be you)

Anyway, my fre got the Hadley Black Small. Hadley Green Small look nice thou The main point is due to the rain and was lost, he drive us to his place. Really good service from him! Thumbs up! :thumbsup: Might check out Billy in HK when i goin over next month

Glad more and more users like Billingham now... although becoming kinda common these days

I still like my Hadley original (sage) and glad that it is "limited" edition now since Billingham doesn't make Hadley original now.

One of mine did get fuzzy but the other two didn't. I might have positioned the velcro too high that it always catches the flap whenever I open it.

But there aren't any loose particles floating around, fortunately. The hair seems to be 'intact' (if that's the proper word for it).

Thanks bro. I went to K-13 to look look at the material, seems better quality than my Crumpler.

yup HK is even cheaper I got my 335 from there. Cost me only $400+ while PK Chan selling more (K-13 selling $600+!)

Bot my 335 9yrs ago at $452 and it stil look so good, work so fine n stil in 1 piece despite heavy usage.

Only the leather trimmings have started to peel, due to zero maintenance on my part. Its definitely my best ever photographic accessory purchase.

HK prices are cheapernthan Singapore for sure. Saw the range at Tin Cheung and was salivating at their prices. Go see!

However their SP40 and SP50 prices is not that competitive though. i found a small shop near to the shopping centre Tin Cheung is in selling both at 10SGD cheaper. So you might want to recce around first. Don't ask me which shop though I forgot liao.

yes... cos GBP -> SGD is in our favor now. So if u are making a trip there or have someone over there... just buy from there.
