That's about it. A Billingham is a ridiculous extravagance -- until you use one. One of ours fell off the carrier of the Bullet 350 motorcycle in India over 20 years ago and was dragged 20-30 yards by its strap. We're still using it...The problem with the bags, is the same as with Leicas. Once you try something of this class you don't want to settle for less. This is why I like Fogg bags. They break in the way Leicas brass away - becoming nicer to wear. My latest favourite is Encore: holds easily an Ipad and a couple of M7's. I don't remember the price, but it was Leica style.

Then again, I've been using Billinghams so long I've never felt the need of Foggs.
