Billingham Bag for Rangfinders Question

[wjk]

I picked up a Billingham L2 bag---they advertise that it will hold a rangefinder and lenses---it has olive inserts that attach to velcro lining the inside of the bag. The olive inserts have the fabric that the velcro binds to all around it, and the bag has a ring of velcro all around the inside. Thus, the outer surface of the camera and lenses will actually contact velcro and the surface that the velcro binds to. Is that OK?

I've never had any problems with it - I was a bit worried it would lead to premature brassing, but nope, it's fine.

I have a small Billingham bag, can't remember if its an L2 but it sounds the same. I've had no problems with it. I've found it a very good bag. No scuffs on my Bessa or Leica that I could put down to the lining.
