Billingham Case for your CV

[Calvin]

Has anyone tried the Billingham Delta Pocket or Avea 6 in fitting their CVs? I noted the internal dimension from the website. Nevertheless, I wonder if I could push my R2 and the 35mm/f2.5 Pancake II (with hood) into it? Thanks.

It doesn't answer your question, but:

I got a no-name made in China bag just the right size for my Voigtlander for about €5.

It's perfectly well made and just right except it's a bit tall so I lined the bottom with a layer of rolls of film.

It probably came from the same factory that makes €50 bags and is made to the same standard.

I haven't tried it so this answer wont really help you, but I think the Delta Pocket would work better since it's just a bit wider.

I finally tried to fit the camera into the Delta Pocket at the retail shop. Well, it fits. For Avea 6, the size is too small for the Bessa. So, if anyone interested in having, you may count on my words (for the size matter 😉 )

Unless that Chinese factory is located in England, that's not going to be the case. The Billingham bags are made in England and the materials much nicer, thicker and water resistant than no name bags.

I had that pouch and as you noted, it's way too small for any camera. It was a clip-on that really was meant for light meters such as the Gossen Luna Pro. I have the Alice L2 and it's the perfect size for me.
