Lots of camera bags aren’t really designed to last for a very long time. But Billingham bags are made differently — specifically, they’re made in a way that used to be the norm. The Phoblographer’s staff has a bunch of them. Need some guidance? We’ve got links to our reviews below. You can find many of those awesome Billingham bags discounted on Amazon. But first, check out the bags below and see which one you might want.

The Phoblographer’s Cheap Photo Deals are designed to give you some of the best deals on photography gear we find. We spend a literal business day researching the most attractive camera deals, lens price drops, and all other sales. Some of the gear is brand new. Other times we’ll share used or refurbished products at good prices. Our Cheap Photo Deals are different from The Phoblographer’s thoroughly researched Feature Roundups. If we’ve tested a unit, we may link to our reviews and coverage in our Cheap Photo Deals. With our Feature Roundups, we’re guaranteed to have used the product — often exhaustively. The site may receive affiliate commission payments if you make a purchase. These help us keep the staff fairly compensated, the server bill paid, and us continually delivering content.

Here are some Billingham Bags we’ve reviewed and loved over the years. You can find them discounted on Amazon.

  • The Eventer Mk II is for light travel needs from a gig to home.
  • The Hadley Pro Large is for pretty much any gig you might need to tackle as a photojournalist.
  • The Eventer Mini is for shooting events with mirrorless cameras.
  • The Hadley One is for pretty big cameras and lenses.
  • The Hadley Small is for minimal shooters, like Leica photographers.
  • The Rucksack 35 is my favorite backpack by Billingham, but it won’t hold a whole lot of gear.
