what can the 206 hold?

personally, i'm waiting for the 07 series and deciding between the 107 or 207. i don't want too huge a bag but if the 207 interior makes sense, then i guess i'll get it.

Yes, that was the exact consideration I had when choosing to buy the bag.

I wanted something that is not too big and yet has enough room to hold a body (with grip preferably), at least 2 lenses and a flash, with a little room for other small stuff.

Thus far, suits my needs.

If I pack properly, I can even attach a lens to the body in addition to what you see in the photo.
 

thx for the pics!

basically the 06 and 07 series are similar...

heard that sep/oct is the ETA for 07 series.

Maybe a Fogg now ....... ;p

there is an older billingham thread that provides a thorough comparison betw the 06 and 07 series. 06 is really not so easy to access the main compartment and it leaves the carrying handle dangling prone to snare free standing stuff on the ground.
 

You guys sure make me want to get a L2 first before getting the 307 for big assisgment.
Any one have the price for L2, if sensetive, can PM me. Thanks
BTW where can i get the specs of L2, as I cannot find it on their webby.
Thanks again.

External Dimensions
W275 x D150 x H200mm
W10,1/2 x D5,3/4 x H7,3/4ins
Internal Dimensions
W250 x D110 x H150mm
W9,5/8 x D4,1/4 x H5,3/4ins

Capacity: up to 1 SLR, 2 Lenses, accessories.

My experience is you can stuff in 2 normal sized lens and one small lens with a pro DSLR. No batt grip though. The front compartment (which is nicely padded) can house a flash. I also attach an Avea 3 to put in extra stuff.

In addition to the proper compartment up front, there are 3 areas you can stuff with papers and some small accessories in between the padding and the outer layer. I normally put travel documents at the back and spare CF card holder on the left 'compartment'.

You can get it for 280 at OP.

Do take note that the L2 is very very similar to the Hadley Small which is also about the same price. Some people might prefer the Hadley look, but the L2 is slightly wider, better for pro DSLRs.
