Hi, I can certainly agree that the bag quality of Billingham bags is excellent, possibly the "finest" in soft camera bags but they are so overly proper, boring and look like the people carrying them should be driving Range Rovers and wearing Versace loafers. Not that there's anything wrong with that... I just don't like the look of them and they are also rather stiff in terms of how they can be used when compared with Domke bags which are by definition flexible and very low key. A person carrying $10,000 worth of Leica M and Zeiss' best glass can carry them invisibly in a Domke satchel style bag.
