[Leica] OT -- Billingham Eventer

[Mark Rabiner]

Could be the Eventer is an old style and they've learned a lot since. They also sell the original Billingham at an oddly jacked up price. It's nice it looks more like a fishing or duffel bag and less like a camera bag which is a big plus for me. But the 555 is the modern version of that and where I'd like to go. Not only can you put your camera in it but your laundry and a spare jacket and pants and a few spare books.

    Ok, Team, my last bag question (and, unless you have a Billingham Eventer, or have used one, please refrain):
    
    I like the Eventer, too. It is, apparently, the Noctilux of camera bags. Boy howdy is it more tan twice the price of a Hadley Pro. Question: assuming you have one, other than the increased cost of materials, (love the leather bottom), is it worth it? Also, are the inerds the same as the Pro?
    
    I’ve diligently searched for a video review of this bag. Or, photos of the bag. Or, just a plain old review. Really, anything about the Eventer. Seems like people are mum on it. Perhaps it is because folks know they can just buy a Hadley Pro. 
    
    Just a last ditch query.
    
    Thanks!
