British brand Billingham pride themselves on creating camera bags from the best material, with the help of some very skilled people to give you a premium product you'll always trust to protect your most precise kit. But at around £200, it can be a big investment for some photographers so we're putting the Billingham Hadley Small Pro to the test to see if the craftmanship is really worthy of its cost.
