Should be no problem. I fit my 15 inch laptop with gripped 5D2 with Zeiss 35/1.4 attached, 35L, 50MP, 70-200 and have room for rocket blower and all those other knick knacks. The laptop have to go to the back and have to perform a little surgery to cut away the little threads making the back compartment into two halves. Quite easy to do so no worries.

Hi, care to share which threads you cut, or a picture of the mbp 15 in the 307. Hoping to do it too.

Hi there,

The threads I cut is the one at the back of the inner compartment where there is a long thread separting the compartment into two. The front also have that as well.

Sorry I don't have a MBP but I remember bro nex100 informed that it is able to hold a MBP. My laptop is the thin version, not as thick as the MBP.

Hi Nex100, any pic to share?
 

I recently bought the Hadley small and was just wondering if the shoulder strap bleeds when u perspire or when it gets wet. Will it bleed and stain shirts?

By the way, does anybody happen to know the price of SP40?

The SP40 black one I bought previously did stain my tees when I use them new on a very hot day. I was wearing a white tee and sweating profusely and at the end of the day found a black stain on my shoulder where the pad was. Easily washed off though so no worries. After using for a while no longer bleed already. :)

I called him previously before purchasing my bag. He quoted attractive prices for certain items but the price he quoted for the model i wanted was more ex than wat OP was selling. So i just bought it from OP to save some money and the hassle of travelling to kembagan. Besides, I also got to molest a couple of bags at OP and also check out the galore of IT stuff at Sim Lim too.

Although his service is good and he is a nice fella, I find that it may seem over-rated. Cos I received equally good service at OP although i got them to open up 4 different models from their plastic wrapper so i could mess around with the inserts and try fitting my cam in them. The chubby chinese lady and the very fair chinese man allowed me to do so without pressure. I even walked out after all that hassles caused in opening the packaging and resealing them, to make my decision before coming back a short while later to buy.

:thumbsup: OP!

Oh that is new! AFAIK PK Chan quoted the best price when I went to wanted to buy my 307. And I believe many brothers here actually bought from him and found that he have the best price too. Will go check out OP if I am buying another one. So far my 307 and Hadley Large are keeping me happy for now. :)
 

This thread is definitely poisonous. I am tempted to buy the hadley small now. Does anyone know how much is it?
 

I bought the Hadley small from Mr Chan. Get the cost from him. Anyway, Hadley small is small so you likely to only fit a body lens and another lens/flash. That's it. 2 additional pouches ffor cleaning, cards and spare battery.

Also depends on your gear. Am putting off my battery grip because if I do get the grip, I doubt I can put in my additional lens

Having said that, the bag is perfect for me when I shoot landscapes as I need only my uwa.

Really depends on your gear and system.

I have both the Hadley Small and Pro. Used them with my m43 system. The Small can hold 5 lens, a body plus batt and sd cards. The Pro can hold my 7 lens, body, flash plus accessories.

On the other hand, those 7 series are overkill for me.

Mr Chan quoted me $270 and OP quoted me $260.

This has been my daily-beater for almost 3 years and it's still going strong
I don't think there are much materials that ages as gracefully as leather, certain canvases and not forgetting raw denim.

I love the patina that it has developed, the creases, the brassing, the discolouration.
Moulded by my usage, every mark is a memory and every stain has a story.

Just thought I'd share, thanks for viewing! :)
