The
'72' is our latest camera bag - purpose built for those who want to carry just
one small camera with a high degree of protection.
Within
the interior of this compact bag, the padding that makes up the front, rear and
side walls of its body is constructed from two overlapping layers of closed
cell foam cut in different patterns – keeping all edges and corners fully
protected. Further padding has been sewn into the bottom of the bag, and we
have also included a removable padded base. Beneath the outer lid is a top
flap, once again made of foam, protecting the camera on all six sides in the
event of a knock or fall.
With
an outer body constructed of either Billingham 3 layer canvas or FibreNyte, the
Billingham 72 offers the ultimate in water resistance and provides full defence
against inclement weather conditions. Both materials are hard-wearing yet
lightweight and never require reproofing, remaining moisture- and
heat-resistant for their entire life. FibreNyte is an extra-rugged material
that is more colour-fast and delivers even better protection against wear and
tear.
The
robust outer fabric, together with the contoured main flap that reaches over
the sides of the bag, means your camera will be protected whatever the weather.
The
bag’s Quick Release System comprises a strong leather tab and brass ClogBall,
enabling fast opening with one hand to retrieve the camera, while securing the
equipment in transit. Each model is reinforced with the finest top-grain
leather, and all fittings are made from solid brass.
The
shoulder sling is extra strong and made of shuttle-woven spun polyester. It can
be adjusted for length or removed completely – making it ideal to carry as a
shoulder bag itself, or as a storage case inside another bag whilst travelling,
such as our Weekender. On the rear of the bag
we have also included a wide belt loop for those who prefer to keep their
camera a little closer.
A
vertical padded divider attached with Velcro® is included with the Billingham
72, enabling the photographer to configure the bag and adjust it to fit their
individual requirements. For cameras with slightly larger lenses attached, the
divider can be re-positioned or removed to create more space.
A
small pocket on the front provides storage for a spare battery, lens cap or
memory cards.
As
with all Billingham bags, the 72 is manufactured with extreme precision,
meeting meticulous technical standards. Once it has passed Billingham’s strict
quality controls, each bag is adorned with a laser-engraved woven label
containing an individual 10-digit barcoded serial number as part of the
company’s Unique Identifier (UI) System, allowing the bag to be registered, identified
and tracked throughout its life.
With
internal dimensions of 110mm (4⅜") x 90mm (3½") x 140mm (5½")
(WxDxH), the Billingham 72 is the ideal size for premium fixed lens cameras
such as the Leica Q (with lens hood), Leica Q2 (with lens hood), Fujifilm X100
range (with lens hood) or Sony DSC-RX1R series, and many small mirrorless
system cameras with one small standard lens, such as the Fujifilm X-T2, Olympus
OMD E-M series, Leica M rangefinders or Canon EOS M kits. It is also ideal for
many old 35mm (and even a few 120 film) cameras of a similar size.
The
bag itself, with shoulder sling attached, weighs just 0.46kg (1.01 lbs).
The
72 is covered by our 5 year manufacturer’s guarantee and is made at our factory
in England.
