Billingham 550

[pcho]

I just got delivery of my new Billingham 550 after Rudi convinced me I should get it but he did not tell me about the price though. I got my secretary to fill in my order form as I was in my branch office and she was supposed to fax my credit card and licience details to the dealer. However when I returned to work the next day she said she used her own credit card and was buying the bag for me as a token of her appreciation for being her official photographer. What a great secretary. However I thanked her very much for her kind gesture and promptly repaid her the cost of the bag.

Now back to the bag, I just love the looks of this bag, that alone was sufficient to convince me to buy it. However this bag is not just about looks as I can actually fit a lot of gear in it. Below are pictures to show how I can fit the 300F2.8L, 70-200L f2.8 IS, 24-70L, 580 ex flash, CP-E4 Battery pack, 1dmkIII and the 1.4and 2x extender (in the side pockets) My 2 front and 1 side pockets are still empty as I have not decided what to put into it yet.

This is really a multi purpose bag as I can also use it as a luggage carry bag. Another thing is it does not look like a camera bag as well. Thats it no more spending for this year :brows: before my wife leaves me for spending all her money :)

Is there any chance of being adopted by you, Perry?

You're asking me to organize myself like you've done? Have the boys not told you about me?

Looks like a nice bag Perry.

Yes, spend less time buying now and more time taking pictures for us to peruse.
