Anyone here using a hadley pro with D700 (w/o grip) + 16-35mm and 24-70mm? Does it fit nicely or is tight? Was thinking of getting it but jus worried it might be too snug. I like my bags to have ample room. ^^

It fits just nice.. Cam center and lens on each side..

Bro u mean with 1 of the lens attached or jus pure body? Cuz my ideal set up would be 16-35 on body with a 50 prime + 85 1.8 prime + 24-70 or flash gun. Would that in your opinion fit nicely? Thanks ah! ^^

No.. I mentioned Cam only..mAybe with a small prime.. Tats abt hw much it can take

Ur ideal set up is not impossible but u need to stack perhaps ur 85 on top of 16-35 on one side

Wah... headache... cuz I am sure the lenses can fit in if non mounted on body especially if its just 16-35mm + the 2 primes but i want the damn cam to be in "usable" position with 16-35mm mounted. >.<

Back to the drawing board again...

Take a look at the f-stop f1.4, can take 2 primes on the side, and it can fit in 16-35mm mounted on the D700, facing downwards in the center of course. So all you need to do is pull it out for a fast draw (i.e. like in drawing a gun).

Take a look at the f-stop f/2.8, can take 2 primes on the side, and it can fit in 16-35mm mounted on the D700, facing downwards in the center of course. So all you need to do is pull it out for a fast draw (i.e. like in drawing a gun).

I'll try to research on it 1st... cuz i really liked the shape and size of the hadley pro. Not too fat in terms of width.

Any idea on the price? The hadley is around 360 bucks at certain shops in SG.

The most apt description I can give the f2.8 is that is is a higher L2, without the feet . Outer pocket is about as low as that on the L2. Still remarkably lightweight, less than a kg, the Hadley Pro is heavier.

Wanted to buy the 335, but when i saw how huge it was, decided to see the 225. Still too big for my use.
At last got the F1.4, only thing is that it does not come in the Khaki/Tan combo.
It can fit my D300+Grip, 28-70 2.8, 11-16 2.8.
=(

Correction to my posts, sorry, getting old ...

I meant f/stop 1.4 instead of f-stop f2.8 in my previous posts, corrected ...

Hey guys! I am thinking to buy a billingham Hadley Small. But I would like to ask if anyone know if it could fit in a Canon 500D + 18-55mm + 70-200mm f4?

Billingham in HK is cheap! Just got my 335 for less then $450

Which shop in HK did you go to? Could it be because of the current exchange rate that makes it cheaper?

 

[CS TAN]

There are a lot of places selling Billingham bags in HK. Generally, the price is quite competitive. There are also parallel imported bags which will even sell at a lower price.

I just saw this shop in Wan Chai HK selling the 207 (S$430) and 307 (S$465) yesterday. My 445 was from Tin Cheung at S$435 but that was a few years back.

bought my bag from Tin Chueng.

Guys, I'm looking at the Hadley Small right now, will it fit two Leicas, one with a long lens (like the 90mm elmarit/cron) and the other one with a compact one(like a 35 or 40cron) in addition to 10 rolls of negatives and a small notebook?

Any place where I can take a look at these bags?

Thanks
