Hello,

This is my first post to the lf-photo forum. I'll go and post something in the new member section as soon as possible.

So, my first question that I would like to submit to you is this:

Can I fit comfortably a 4x5" folding field (Chamonix 45N-1 or Wista 45SP) with one or two lenses (Schneider 120, Fujinon 210) mounted on linhof boards, three fidelity chassis, a dark cloth, a loading tent, film boxes, moleskine notebooks, lightmeter, loupe, and stuff, into a Billingham Packington.

I got a Hadley classic, and this is amazingly built, but a little bit too small for all this. Dimensions are ok it seems, and I like the way the Billingham are conforming when carried.

Many thanks to let me know what you think.

And if someone has one for sale...

Best regards,

GregVDS

No one?

Any idea?

Hi gregvds

I have a Billingham 445 and it would just about hold what you are proposing but I wouldn't want to carry all that weight on my shoulder for any distance. I think you would probably better off buying a rucksack type bag. I currently use the Lowepro Photo trekker backpack and find it very comfortable, the Nature trekker is smaller and might be worth considering.
