Billingham 445 Camera Bag
supersize


Description:
The 445 is a camera bag for those who want to carry a couple of DSLRs and several moderately sized lenses.

Constructed from 3-layer waterproof in the case FibreNyte material with real full grain leather and brass fixings. Comes with a 5 year manufacturers guarantee.

It's a classic, well thought-through design and hand crafted quality, along with considerable internal volume make this a favourite amongst many photographers.

One particular feature liked is the TukTop feature. This allows the two sides of the zipped opening to be tucked behind the bag's internal front and rear dividers - meaning its easy to pull equipment in and out of the bag.

Nine good-sized main pockets, two at the front under the flap  , four internal slip pockets in the main compartment  and a zipped rear pocket . A full length front pocket contains a further two internal pockets and has space to store a 13" inch laptop inside.

Quick Release System has top grain leather straps passing through solid brass ‘D’ rings at the end of the webbing carry-handles. Done to provide fast, secure closure even when the bag is heavily loaded. An embossed leather grab handle holds the hand straps together and makes carrying them for long periods more comfortable. At the back of the bag, a full-width zipped pocket   is ideal for manuals, maps or documents.

Included are SP20 Shoulder Pad, SuperFlex 9-15, SuperFlex 10-18, SuperFlex flap, 400 SuperFlex Padded Base and Drawstring Bag 'Size D'.

Fitted with an internal third web carry handle ,  for carrying around safely, even with the main flap open.

Fitted with an adjustable ‘Y’ shaped Delta sling, designed to help prevent rocking, even when the bag is full. Optional Delta Pockets can be fitted to the base of the sling and also fitted 5 point mounting loops for the optional Back Pack Harness.

To protect the underside, brass feet are fitted to top grain leather corner patches, while internally the bottom of the bag features a padded, waterproofed base.

Pros: Well designed, tough, waterproof, 5 year manufacturers guarantee
Cons: To date none

It's probably the bag I should've purchased in the first place, rather than working my through Lowepro and Crumpler products to name but two.

This will be from now on, my "go to" decanted from Pelicans shoot bag.
