Out of three Billingham Bag that I've owned, this is my favorite. The design, materials, and construction quality are top notch. I've read some criticism of the Billingham bags because of the leather strap/post closures. The nice thing about this particular bag is that when you're carrying it by the shoulder strap, the main flap can be folded out of the way giving you quick access to the main compartment via the zipper. In the main compartment, I can easily store my Nikon D850 with the 24-120mm zoom attached, a Nikon Speedlight, and the Nikon 14-24mm lens. Alternatively, the Speedlight can be stored in one of the front pockets and be replaced with the Nikon 70-200mm zoom.�

I still use my Lowe Pro backpack when I need to carry a larger zoom lens and other gear, but all in all this is a very practical bag made to a high standard.

Great bag

I bought this bag after much research. I am a pro photographer and love using some of my good gear when not working but truly dislike lugging big bags when not on a job (like most I'm sure). While it isn't small it is comfortable to wear as crossbody messenger (I'm 5'6 small frame) and it fits my 5D Mark III WITH a 24-70 2.8, my 70-200 2.8, 50mm 1.2, 200mm macro, 600 flash, battery charger and batteries, WITH room to spare. I want to be able to take out/place back with ease and without too much effort. It is also a good looking bag. I'll be back in a few years regarding durability, but it looks well made.

I am extremely particular re: my luggage. Attention given to quality, durability, and style. I own other Billingham bags for my camera equipment...& have found nothing better.

This bag is very nearly indestructable- I have battered mine across the country for almost 4 years now & it looks as new. Its made in the UK & they do it well.

I purchased this bag from B&H roughly 15 years ago before it was discontinued. I am happy to see that Billingham decided to give it new life. I remember opening the shipping box and seeing it for the first time and thinking to myself - IT'S TOO PRETTY! What venue am I possibly going to use this in? I'm usually shooting in dirty locations such as chasing railroad locomotives or at playgrounds with my children. I also remember hiding it from my wife because once she saw it I would be interrogated about the cost (The money spent would have purchased a lot of diapers). I thought of returning it for a refund, but this was now impossible due to it's looks. So it remained hidden for a few years until a friend of the family asked me to shoot his wedding. I tried to get out of the wedding shoot because I still did not want my wife to see the Billingham bag, after all I could not shoot a wedding with my beater bag-right? He insisted (knowing he would get a cheap photographer) and I relented. Luckily the wife could not attend the wedding, but I still had to smuggle the bag out of the house. During the wedding the bag got more comments then the bride and groom-HUH? I knew then that I had better not ever leave the bag unattended as it would most certainly walk away. To this very day my wife has never seen this bag. Some nights when I want to look at something beautiful other than the wife I will retrieve my Eventer from it's secret hiding place and gaze at it's magnificent qualities.

Solid bag, deeper than the Hadley Pro Large. Quality all the way.

I am a long time owner of Billingham bags and needed an extra Superflex Partition for one of my four bags. Thanks to B+H for getting them back in stock.

Yes it costs a lot but it's made for a lifetime. Bought it after much consideration to carry a 13 Macbook Air, a Sony A6000 and lenses. For overnight business travel, with just one extra lens (mostly interior architectural photography), there's still room for travel essentials making it a single carry-on solution.

I am using my EVENT bag to hold a Pentax K1 with large lens, Macro lens in hard case, flash and a small lens with my MAC Pro in the sleeve on the side. Great padding all round. The quality of stitching, material used and shoulder strap - couldn't be better. I thought long and hard in spending the money required for this bag, but I haven't been happy with other bags to protect the camera and non can hold my MAC.
