When I first saw a picture of the new mini eventer, I was just blown away by the look of it. The navy canvas with chocolate leather details was excellent, and I must say I can't resist the navy color on Billingham bags. As I already have a lot of bags from Billingham, I did not need a new one, but the new mini eventer had some properties that I liked. I already own the Hadley small pro and the Hadley one camera/laptop bag, and sometimes I feel the Hadly small is too small; I can't get my iPad in there and the Hadly one too large when I only want to take my iPad and not my laptop. And this is where the mini eventer fit in perfectly as I use it with my Leica cameras, and it has space for my iPad. And it has plenty of room for a camera or two and some lenses as well. Today I have a Leica M10P with 35, 50, 90 APO from Voigtlander and the new 28 5.6 from TT Artisan in the bag together with my Leica Q2. And still have space for a notebook, pens, spare batteries, straps, cleaning clothes and an external EVF for my Leica. But what I liked was the new zipper closing the camera department and the new (i believe) waterproof zipper. It was a no brainer, and the bag was ordered and delivered to Norway in no time. And as a bonus, there was a shoulder pad, and lugged tally included. I have used the bag for some weeks now and are super happy about it. Rgds Ivar
