CAMERA BAGS " I believe my love of photography has helped create some of the most beautiful and practical camera bags in the world - but that’s for you to decide.” Martin Billingham MANAGING DIRECTOR, HEAD DESIGNER
When it was introduced in 1978, the Billingham Bag set a new standard in the photographic world. It was conceived by people who knew about photography; it was designed to meet the needs of professional photographers; and it was manufactured by skilled craftsmen, using the most appropriate and highest quality materials available. The Billingham Bag met with instant approval from photographers around the world and rapidly became an indispensable accessory for both professionals and discerning amateurs. Like all successful innovations, the Billingham Bag has it’s imitators. However, although there are other bags similarly styled to ours, the similarity is often just cosmetic. For example, when making a Billingham bag, we use the natural characteristics of canvas, together with our knowledge of how to cut and stitch it, to provide the bag's stiffening and shape. Our first, purpose-designed soft camera bag is still in production, virtually unchanged from the original design. Like all Billingham products, it has a distinctly ‘English’ character, echoing the craftsmanship and traditional materials that are incorporated in every model in our range. Indeed, these qualities have been widely recognised: Billingham bags have travelled far beyond their traditional photographic market - and far beyond the shores of Britain - used by businessmen, travellers, technicians and professionals in many fields to carry valuable and vulnerable equipment around the globe.
Billingham bags are different - not just for the sake of appearance, but as a result of the careful consideration we give to the bag's function and performance. For example, our bags are deeper than most. This increased depth gives more security from pickpockets and prying eyes; pockets can be deeper, and personal items can be stored on top of equipment. Our experience dictates that a bag should be designed so that it will hold its shape naturally over years of use. Our products are made to withstand the rigours of traditional English weather. This means that our canvas is waterproof, the lining is non-absorbent, and the seams are bound with waterproof tape. We go to great lengths to make sure that the way the bag is put together maintains that inherent waterproofing. All overlapping seams are tiled, sewing needle sizes are kept as small as possible, and just to be sure that the holes they make won't let water in, we use thread that contains cotton: this swells when it gets wet, effectively sealing the hole. We use every possible measure to protect your equipment and to keep it dry. On the one hand, our approach is traditional - we only use materials whose qualities we understand, and whose performance we can predict and rely upon. On the other hand, we are committed to developing and improving our products - for example, we use computer-aided design to bring speed and accuracy to our development work. Where there is a clear benefit to be gained, we will use new materials, we will refine our designs, and we will consult with our users to anticipate and meet new demands. Recently, we have redesigned our Quick Release System - we modified the profile of the brass stud and adjusted the shape of the hole, so that they slip together more easily and stay firmly fixed, reducing wear and ensuring a long working life. Billingham is a company that has led the market by creating innovative products of outstanding quality and will continue to do so in the future.

CAMERA BAGS
By their very design, Billingham bags have a very fluid nature and will accommodate a wide variety of photographic equipment. To give a reasonable guide, all dimensions shown are based on the original patterns used in the manufacture of the bags.The imperial dimensions shown are approximate equivalents to the original metric sizing used in the pattern making. The accompanying camera and lens icons are suggestions of content and not intended to be read as definitive. For example, in most cases it would be possible to change the SLR with motor drive for a medium format camera. Further details are available on our web site at:www.billingham.co.uk Every care has been taken to ensure that the descriptions and specifications were correct at the time of going to press. Whilst we make every effort to reproduce the colours of the products correctly, slight variations may occur due to the limitations of the printing process.

Materials All Billingham products are based on the same unvarying philosophy: start with a straightforward, practical design, based on a sound knowledge and understanding of the user's needs. We choose the very best materials and use them in a way that takes maximum advantage of their natural properties, then manufacture the product to precise quality standards. That's why Billingham bags have solid brass fittings, top-grain, top quality leather and the best quality canvas, thread and linings in abundance. Incidentally, it's also why you will rarely find a second-hand Billingham bag for sale - they don't wear out easily, and their owners are loath to part with them. Most of the materials we use are exclusive to us in some way or other: it may be simply their colour, or because of the special manufacturing process they go through and the finishes we apply. When we can't find the exact material we need, we have it made specially. As well as working closely with our suppliers to improve each aspect of a materials performance, we also co-operate with them to ensure that every delivery of materials into our workshop meets our exacting quality specifications. The protection provided by a soft bag comes about through the careful use of closed-cell foams and the inherent pliability of the soft canvas. Our SuperFlex inserts keep cameras and lenses protected and separated from each other. We have designed them in such a way that they simply move out of the way when pushed, allowing the bag to mould itself to the wearer's shape. Stiffening and shape are given to the bag by the way we cut and stitch the material - we don't use stiffeners or inserts that may cause problems in the long term. We cut the panels of our bags in a particular way so that the grain of the material can cope naturally with the stresses inflicted on it by the weight of cameras and the passage of time. Not only are our bags strong and durable, they are also genuinely soft and will mould snugly to your body.

Canvas The Billingham Canvas used in our camera bags has traditionally been waterproofed, just like the original Macintoshes, with natural rubber. More recently however, we have replaced this with StormBlock, which incorporates a new type of waterproof layer developed by us, sandwiched between two layers of canvas. This resulting material, while being equally waterproof, is thinner and lighter than our traditional canvas - reducing the weight of the bags, without sacrificing performance. It also has better resistance to sunlight and ozone. For most camera bags, our StormBlock canvas provides all the protection that's needed. Where the bag will be subjected to heavy wear, however, we would recommend our Nytex material. This is an incredibly hard-wearing, 1000 denier texturised nylon, waterproofed with polyurethane - it's tough, robust, and is designed to keep your equipment safe under the worst conditions.Whether you choose canvas or nylon, the waterproof layer is built-in and will not need re-proofing.

Camera Bag Linings
Zips
For the lining of our bags, we chose a smooth AntiFray material we believe it is important that no tiny material fibres from the lining should find their way into cameras and lenses. The material is also specially treated to help prevent wicking (the process of water being sucked through the fibres, like a candle wick, to permeate the material).
Conventional zip fasteners are not really strong enough for everyday use in a camera bag; so we use 8mm zips, where the coil teeth are woven into the supporting tape, rather than sewn in the usual way. Not only is the resultant fastener stronger than a conventional zip, it is also flatter and hence less prone to abrasion. The pullers too, are stronger than normal: this helps to prevent them creeping and slipping.
Leather Hand Stitching We use only the best, top-grain leather in our bags. This is the top most part of the hide and it is vegetable tanned and aniline dyed by hand. Finally a light coating of wax or, in the case of bridle leather, fat is applied. The process used to treat our hides is designed to bring out the richness of the natural grain and is in no way intended to hide marks or healed scars which appear naturally.
6
Not only are there many different types of leather, each separate part of a single hide has individual properties: some parts are strong along the grain, others are soft and supple enough to bend round corners. We use different parts of the hide throughout each bag, choosing the characteristics of the leather to suit the function of each individual component. Brass All our fittings are either cast or machined from solid brass. We choose brass for several reasons: the first, and most obvious, is that it will not rust. As time passes, brass may tarnish and develop a patina, which acts as a protective layer, preventing deterioration compare this with steel which, even when heavily plated, can develop rust spots that eat into the material. Unlike plastic fittings, brass doesn't become noticeably brittle when the temperature drops, and it doesn't crack when you accidentally tread on it. Our brass fittings are hand-finished, so you won’t find any sharp corners or rough edges on them - and that means that they are less likely to wear their way through the leather and canvas. According to the finish required, the fittings are lacquered, or nickel plated.
The very first Billingham camera bag was made out of leather and was completely hand made, even down to the brass lock. It included over 1,000 individual hand stitches. These were made using an awl, needles, thread and beeswax. Although we use sewing machines for a lot of the processes these days, we still resort to traditional hand stitching on those occasions when a machine can't cope with the thickness of the material or the complexity of the construction. Shock Absorbing Foams We use closed-cell foams from the world's leading manufacturers to protect your valuable equipment. These foams are manufactured using inert chemicals, which will not affect photographic emulsion or delicate camera equipment. Each piece of foam is precision-cut to ensure consistent quality and to provide protection against knocks, as well as insulation against heat and cold. Because these are closed-cell foams they won't soak up or retain moisture; they even have positive buoyancy - so an empty Billingham bag will float! Shoulder Web To ensure maximum performance from our shoulder straps, we use a variety of materials in their manufacture. We have pioneered the use of spun-polyester in our shoulder straps - this is a military specification material, similar to that used as parachute webbing on the Space Shuttle (it's made by the same people). Spun-polyester stays flat, wears extremely well, does not absorb water as quickly as cotton and will not rot.
Rivets & Studs Our attention to detail extends to even the smallest items. Where rivets are used to strengthen stress points, we ensure they are also made from solid brass. The brass studs used in our unique Quick-Release System (another Billingham innovation) have a carefully shaped profile so that they will release easily when you want them to, but will stay safely fastened when you don't. Even such seemingly insignificant items as press studs are carefully chosen. Where a strong, semi-permanent fixing is needed, for example on our tough leather handles, we use a stud with strong ring springs. Where easy access is the requirement, we use S-spring studs: these are easier to undo, but still provide a secure closure.

The 550 was the first soft camera bag manufactured in Britain. Its continuing success, both as a spacious camera bag, and as a general travel bag have meant that, apart from a few very minor improvements, it remains much the same as when it was first introduced. With its many pockets, you have the option of stowing items for easy access or maximum protection a truly versatile bag.

We believe that photographers often find a bag with the ideal combination of features, but it's either too small or too large for their needs. That's why we've introduced this range. The 225, 335, 445 and 555 all share the same features, the only difference being their size. Now, regardless of what needs to be carried there is a model to match the size of the outfit, without having to compromise - from the compact 225 to the roomy 445 and 555 - bags that can take a hammerhead flashgun standing upright.
2 Additional protection against the elements is provided by the leather-bound rain flap with twin top-grain leather tabs and Quick Release System fastenings. Double grab handles allow the bag to be picked up instantly whether the rain flap is open or closed. The zippered front pocket houses two padded internal pockets.
3 No matter how heavily you load the front pocket, the Delta sling is designed to prevent the bag from tipping and to reduce any rolling motion as you move. 4 The bags all feature our Five Loop Fixing system so that you can attach the Billingham Back Pack Harness or Tripod Straps.
