Thanks to Mr. PK Chan. :)

Billing ham digital to hold your nex. But if you wanna slot your iPad it gotta be Hadley pro at least. Hadley small would be a little tight.
 

The Billingham Hadley Small will be just nice for NEX with lens on and additional lens/accessories. Plus, U can slot in an ipad (w/ thin case) behind the inset. And the bag looks quite small on the body. It'll be perfect. Go test it out at PK Chan. All the best.

One thing about canvas (not fibrenyte) is that, when the bag gets wet, you can see 'water spots' all over it. It'll go away but it'll take a long time. Need to clean it with distilled water. But canvas got a nice feel to it. Vintage and smooth feeling. And itll season very nicely.
 

Bought myself Hadley Pro in khaki canvas with SP40 2 weeks ago from PK CHan.
Now thinking whether should I go for a Hadley Small in all black or the Artisan Artis GCAM-7200 with the leather flap for my X100 and accessory.
 

Any one on here want to know how to clean a Billingham properly? A good friend of mine's done a marvelous job of documenting the task. Feel free to join in as well for Billingham care discussions and what-have-yous.

A well-aged Billingham is like a well-aged woman, it has character, and that awards it some amount of beauty (maybe in the eye of the beholder).

My Billingham is a mess of water spots, and dirt. :bsmilie:

Fully agree.:thumbsup: But my 'woman' is still young and soft. Very innocent to the world. Have to spoil her with SKII, Garnier and Neutrogena before the inevitable takes its course. :bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie:

Incidentally, just the other day I was searching for the photos you posted of that battle-scarred Billy of yours. Couldn't find it.
 

hi all, does anyone know if mr chan sells the leica billingham combination bag? can someone pm me his contact details? or i can google for him :x?
 

Just got my 2nd billy, a sage hadley pro as a smaller bag to my black 207. :D loving it and I'm sure this is not the end.. lusting for more... :devil:
 

Anyone know if fibrenyte is alot much rougher as compared to canvas? since PK doesn't bring in fibrenyte for hadley small, is hadley small available in fibrenyte at other shops in Singapore?

The fibrenyte has a more prominent and deeper 'grooves' in the texture so in a way, yes it is 'rougher'. And the color will fade slower compared to canvas. My hadley small is in canvas. Not sure though where you can get the fibrenyte if Mr PK Chan doesn't have it.

For reference, I am using F1.4 to hold my iPad2 and Nex. Somehow the ipad 2 is just slightly bigger (Maybe 1.5-2cm) then F1.4 so it not perfect when not close but when close, I am very sure you will not notice that.

To me My packington fill ipad or macbook well but too big for my NEX, so F1.4 is recommended.

Thanks bro.. i bought the Billingham Small and its a beauty!! Fits the Ipad2 and NEX perfectly :)
I am a fan now!

It was an extremely tough choice between black and khaki - and between Hadley Pro, F/1.4/2.8 and Small..
