Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Billingham 72 comes ready to use. Simply attach the adjustable shoulder strap to the solid brass D-rings located on the sides of the bag. Ensure the strap is securely fastened before carrying.
Compatibility:
This bag is designed to hold a small mirrorless camera with one standard lens attached. It is compatible with most compact mirrorless camera bodies, including those from brands like Sony, Fujifilm, Canon, and Nikon, when paired with a standard focal length lens (e.g., a 50mm f/1.8 or a 35mm prime lens).
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the FibreNyte: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Leather Care: The full-grain leather should be treated periodically with a quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying. Use a soft cloth to apply and buff.
- Brass Fixings: The solid brass hardware can be polished with a brass cleaner if desired, or left to develop a natural patina over time.
- Storage: When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using a dust bag to protect it.
