Review #1
(Added 13th January 2011)

Equipment list in bag :
Canon EOS 5D MK II with Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Canon EF 20mm F/2.8 USM
Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM
Apple iPad
spare camera battery

Sometime I like to walk around and I want a light solution to bring my 5D Mk2 with me. This elegant and timeless bag has proven to be the solution: really small, but can carry a FF camera (without battery grip...) with a mid size lens attached (here is the 24-105L), plus another couple of short-mid size lenses (here a 200/2.8L and a 20/2.8). Everything with lens hood attached reverse. In addition there is a front pocket which is perfect for my iPad and a few small accessories. The level of design and care in the details of this bag/brand is something great! The shoulder pad is now thicker and no-slipping. There is also an internal pleat to better protect the content.
Additional internal divider are eventually available, but there is no need. External add-on pocket are available, but in my opinion they kill the lean design of this bag. I hope the leather details and the canvas will last long.

Additional Info

Description: The Billingham f/Stop 1.4 Camera Bag is a bag with a "squared-off" look which is created by the insertion of a pleat on either side of the main flap. There is a secondary, padded lid that is tailored to keep the elements out. The bag is made from FiberNyte with wrap-around interior side padding and a 25mm thick reinforced foam base. There are removable, padded internal dividers with wide, adjustable, touch fastener bands running the length of the bag. A quick release system uses top grain leather tabs with keyhole slots in the straps that engage with the solid brass ClogBalls for fast opening with positive and secure closure. The f1.4 bag has a large front Dump Pocket under the flap, a full-width Dump Pocket inside the bag, at the rear of the main compartment and a rear zippered pocket. It is carried by an attached, adjustable shoulder strap. Two sets of 'D' holes located under the main stud fasteners can be used for threading optional tripod straps.
