Description:	Description The 225 has recently undergone a substantial re-design with a number of new features. The main compartment now includes four extra full depth pockets. The single zip top opening has been retained but has also been reprofiled, so that it is now possible for the zip panels to lie behind the inside pockets, so forming the Billingham TukTop. In use the zip can remain open and protected with the main flap. The simple zip path ensures long, trouble-free life. The adjustable Delta shoulder sling comes complete with a leather and neoprene SP15 shoulder pad. External Dimensions W320 x D220 x H230mm W12,1/2 x D8,1/2 x H9ins Internal Dimensions W305 x D150 x H190mm W12 X D6 X H7,1/4ins Features The newly introduced TukTop, allows the main zip, with its double pullers, to be tucked out of the way when opened. No matter how heavily you load the front pocket, the Delta sling is designed to prevent the bag from tipping and to reduce any rolling motion as you move. The bags all feature our Five Loop Fixing system so that you can attach the Billingham Back Pack Harness or Tripod Straps. Designed specially to fit the Delta Sling of the 225, 335 445 and 555 models, the Delta Pocket will provide extra storage space on your Billingham bag. The twin press-stud fastening is helped by the inclusion of a finger space so that it is not necessary to press against the contents of the bag.

Pros:	Very well made, stylish, stealthy
Cons:	slightly small for a DSLR

Another excellent Billingham bag. I agree the leather stiffens after a while (mine is 18 years old!) but other than that, they are very long-lived. The 225 is just a little small for a large camera (e.g. 1V, 1D) but for a smaller system, is ideal. Excellent value for money (in terms of longevity and bangs-for-bucks). Gary (London, UK)

Pros:	Quality and construction
Cons:	Small size, high price for a small bag

Originally bought this bag for my Olympus OM1 system many years ago. Ideal for the Olympus, could take a couple of bodies and set of lenses. Nowadays little used with digital slrs, simply too small. Also, the higher body size of the digital slr compared to the OM1s means little top protection. Also, back in the days when I first bought the bag it looked nothing like the sort of bag you would put cameras in. Today the Billingham bag image is much better known and is too well recognised as a camera bag. However, could still be just what you are looking for, but bear in mind the size limitation.
