I have been using a 335 for nearly two years now and am very happy with it. The bag recently spend a year with me in East Africa (Kenya mostly) where it endured some pretty extreme environments. It protected my equipment (two R bodies, six lenses) from some pretty heavy tropical rain as well as being pretty impervious to blowing dust and sand. With the bag stuffed it wasn't the easist to work out of but I willingly took that as a trade-off for the added protection. As another plus, it looks a bit drab to the untrained eye and never seemed to attract attention in Nairobi, notorious for its street-crime. I have found the best place to purchase a Billingham is the duty-free camera shop in Heathrow airport where the 335 was about $100 less than the best price I found in the States. M.
