Billingham 72

[Warwick]

Has anyone tried the new Billingham 72 bag?

I currently have a Hadley Small and a Digital, but sometimes I just want to take minimal kit - ideally my X-Pro 2 with two Fujicron lenses (23mm f2 and 50mm f2).

The new Billingham 72 looks great - but I wonder whether it would fit the camera with a lens on plus a spare.

Looks like a nice bag, but I don’t see a second lens without an additional pouch inside. I don’t see it working for me. I use an Ona Prince Street.

Why don’t you use the Hadley Digital then?

I do use the Hadley Digital. I’m just wondering whether the even-smaller 72 might work for a lens and a spare

I have just bought the Hadley Digital for exactly that purpose, and looking at the photo of this new bag I reckon you would struggle!

I have this bag and find that it works with my xt1 with the pancake lens or the x100 or my old fujifilm ga645zi film camera. No room for a spare lens.

That’s helpful

Couldn't think of a worse place for a passport!

I reckon the picture answers your question as a negative, stick with the Hadley Digital!

Looks great in that color but...I can never buy a bag this small. Something that can only hold my camera feels a bit pointless. I'll just have my camera on a strap if that's the case (no pun intended).

 

Like if I'm going to wear a bag out, it should have room for a jacket and a water bottle or something in addition to my camera.

I got one in the end. I have 3 Billinghams now: the 72 for my camera and one lens, the Digital for my camera, three lenses and a few extra things, and the Hadley Small for the camera, some lenses, a flash and controller and a folding soft box
