Initially wanted to buy the shoulder pad and Avea 03 yesterday. But the Avea was seriously small, not even enough for a compact. Perhaps just enough for your handphone and a pen.

Ended up buying only the shoulder pad =)

The shoulder pad is a must :) Hmm... i am still thinking what to put in the Avea 03. Maybe some rolls of film, batteries or notepad/pen. Was hoping it can fit a small prime lens too...

Sunglasses and ezlink cards in the avea03. If u wanna fit a prime or flash in the pouch u need a avea05.

The avea05 can fit my oly ep3 with 12mm fitted and 45 1.8 in a small pouch.

Ok.. thanks! Most likely getting a 3 and 5 so i can swap.. :)
 

I use it to store my compact camera (S90 or GRD3). Easy quick access for that decisive moment.

Other times, my light meter.
 

Mm! i wld like to have hadley pro in khaki/tan canvas
But Hadley large black/black in fibrenyte~

anyone got mr chan to order fibrenyte for them before?

khaki will age nicely...

black age looks :sweat:
 

okays =/ i finally stop being a keyboard warrior~

Went down myself to see~
Thou PK Chan offers me a delivery all the way to my place bringing the two hadley large black/khaki to let me choose, for a small token.
I can't wait to get my hands on these classic beautiful bags, i took a cab and fly down~ hahas (It cost a lot more going down on my own)
I was welcome by his wife i believe, as he was serving another person. It didn't take him long, before he came out bringing the two bag in two colour~! he explain why he didn't bring in black in fibrenyte! it just don't look really black, and somehow it looks weird compare to the canvas, doesn't look tt classic anymore. ( On top of that i have 2 person warned me that fybernyte do becomes "furry" after awhile. Just something to share, thou i had never seen one on my own". I finally understand the reason why he don't bring in.
They didn't rush me at all, thou i'm rushing myself, as i have a badminton game after tt, i dropped few questions on the design of the bag, which seems weird to me, they quickly went and took another copy of the bag and compare, which assure me its all the same. =D

Finally i still chose black for its elegant, and less maintenance needed, thou cld be boring, it blends in well and matches most of my dressing/clothings/skin colour, doesn't shout billingham (THOU THE LEATHER IS STILL *BLINK BLINK* UNDER THE LIGHT TO SHOUT TO OTHERS ITS A BILLY!" hahahas)

=D Okay thats all , i'm Lovin it!

I think so too. Best bet would be the Hadley Pro.

Yes... you can fit the above combo. But you cannot use thick casing with the Ipad2.

I fitted my NEX-5 with 18-55mm, 16mm with Fisheye/Wide and Nikon AF 20mm + ipad2 with smart cover in the Hardley Small...

If you don't mind a bigger bag, the F-stop series or Hadley Pro is good also :)

Nothing beats a firsthand account. :)

You cant go wrong with a harley pro. I can see a 70-200 f2.8 IS II + 5D mk 2 both unmount in it.
