You can carry your camera in nearly anything - a dedicated camera case, a trendy backpack, or a paper bag if you like. Some cameras thrive on this sort of thing, and if you have a waterproof underwater model you can haul it around in a goldfish bowl...
But if you have something nice - really nice...like a Leica or a new Fuji X-series camera - well, you'll want to do your gear and yourself more justice. After all, what we carry can say as much about us as what we wear.
The Billingham range of bags say that we are practical without losing sight of tradition - that we have some real style in our soul -that we appreciate the finer things of life. They also protect our valuable cameras very well and let us get in at them easily without asking us to navigate a maze of zips and velcro.
Look at the sepia-toned images of the Billingham f2.8. You can see that it is the model with the khaki cavalry twill bag and brown leather trim, but look closer to see the hand stitching on the edges and the solid brass fastening post. No wonder that Billingham has the word guarantee on their product booklet - and it is for 5 years. These are made with the same dedication that the English use for their finest shooting bags.
Even if your usage is not likely to be as traumatic as that - these bags are the most desired in the street. People will know you know cameras when they see you with one.
And you won't be sorry you bought it.
