Pros: | Quality workmanship, laptop cradle, water proof | Cons: | Quite Large | | I recently purchased this camera bag on sale at BHphotovideo for $349. Retail is $521.99. I currently own two other Billingham Bags so I'm already aware of their stellar quality and rainproof FiberNyte material. My FUJI system currently resides in this bag. It's quite large and that's exactly why I purchased it. Big enough for several bodies with lenses attached and room for 4 more lenses. There are generous pockets in the front to hold a flash and full size rocket blower. It also fits my 13" laptop and holds it securely with plenty of cushion.
If you're wanting a bag to hold lots of gear safely and comfortably then this is your bag. If you are looking to work out of it on your shoulder all day, forget about it. It's a travel/transport bag. Too heavy in my opinion to lug around all day for a shoot.
I looked at the Billingham 225, and 335, but ultimately chose this bag because of its ability to hold a 13" laptop and the extra space it avails.
