Billingham Presstop 306 review

PrimePhotog · 27th November 2008

Firstly,I DO NOT work for or am in any way related to Billingham or the Singapore agent Mr Chan.
This bag is clearly superior to many other bags I have used.I have previously used and tried many cheaper bags such as Lowepro, Kata, Domke and Thinktank.I have also used a Billingham Hadley Original which was too small for my needs.

Billingham bags have alot of padding which prevents equipment from getting damaged when the bag is dropped accidentally.The canvas is made of a highly water resistant material which does not wear easily.(I have a friend who has used his Billingham 550 for over a decade.The bag still looks like it is in near-mint condition).Billingham bags are made to last a lifetime...

Overview of whats in my bag:

Contents:

Nikon D200, AFS 24-70mm f2.8 with hood on, AIS 28mm f2.8, AIS 85mm f1.4, Canon Ixus 860 IS ,2 extra EN-EL3e batteries, Lenspen,2 Chargers and A4/smaller book/file (1/2cm thick)

Inserts which came with the bag

Front pockets which can store small accessories or flash units

The 306 also has a special feature which allows the bag to be expanded to allow longer lenses such as the 70-200 to be put into the insert vertically.
