Billingham Hadley Pro

[secondintime]

Does anyone have one? Offer any opinions? Considering getting one as an alternative to my slingshot, obviously won't take all my my gear in one go, but fancy it for my 60D with lens and maybe one or two lens with me at a time, short walks, street shooting etc. they seem to get good reviews, just wondered if anyone here had one?

Hi although I dont have the Hadley Pro, I do have the Billingham 335, it is a fabulous product Leather straps, brass buckles, great design. Billingham bags are a little expensive but I get the impression they will last a lifetime, and offer good protection for your camera and lenses. it will accomodate the gear you mention, I know it takes a 5d with batt grip fitted, a 24-105 lens, another smaller lens. + limited bits & bobs.

Great, thanks for reply. Have found them online for £150. A lot of money I know but as you say should last a lifetime. Also will have a second bag for when kids come out and they have the 500D. Keep thinking that is £150 towards my first L lens, but then again, happy with what I have at the moment, so may well do the deed soon. Thinking a bag like this will result in my taking my camera out more too.
