The Billingham's divider foam is of the thick, mushy type. I place the Billingham inside a Kelty internal-frame backpack, along with my film in a ziplock bag. However I was shocked at how heavy the Billingham is empty. So when I get to where I'm going I use the Domke F5XB for carrying. En route I fill the Domke with socks, etc. and pack it in my suitcase.
