Hi guys, I am looking for a sling bag for travel, something that doesnt scream "this is a camera bag". Billingham looks really cool to me. Need something to hold a 15" notebook, 1 pro body and maybe 3 lenses. Which series should I be looking at ? maybe e 445 ? appreciate all e help, thanks

I would recommend the Hadley Large. Enough for your gear with a little space left for expansion. Else will be the 307 but you need to do a bit of surgery by cutting away the strings that divide the back compartment into two. Did that on mine and I actually like it better. Else the 445 can also but a bit overkill to me. Own it but sold it cos it is s huge. Sold that to get the 307 and never regret a bit.

hi all, anyone try converting your billingham to a backpack using the Back Pack Harness?

Not me. Somehow I think the bags will look funny turned into a back pack. It is very stylo as a shoulder bag so. Don't thnk I would want to spoil the look. My two cents. :)

No problem!
 

its a pity they have stopped their backpack series.


or are they still continuing?

hadley series is more suitable for u. 445 is too big.

Thanks, will take a look at that too :) Maybe a 335 or 307, problem is e lenses are big (nikon's trinity) and i want it to be able to hold a 15" notebook too.

u can consider 335 then. I have this bag as well and there is a zippered compartment for your notebook.
 

My 2nd Billingham Bag just landed from HK..;)

Its black but somehow has a navy-ish tinge. My bag has the same "colour"
 

here you go... this is 307 with the backpack harness... i remember seeing online someone carry a 445 with the harness... but gotta search for it...

A quick search online failed to uncover any shots with the hadley with a backpack harness though. Wonder how it looks like.
 

what do you all think?
