BBB virus kicked in again today. Bought a Hadley Pro khaki/choco, SP40 and luggage tally to go along with it, and ordered a Hadley Large black FibreNyte/black to be shipped in February. Haizz...

Haven't sold my Hadley Pro khaki/tan yet. Any takers?

Can i ask where do you hang that Luggage tally on your bag?
I have the 307 and Hadley Pro.. cannot find any suitable place to hang it... and its too precious to use it on my check-in luggage.. hahaha

I slotted it through where you hang the Avea pouches. It sits really nice in that area.

This morning I found myself again at Kembangan buying Avea pouches. BBB so strong!

Cool. Full battle order.

Cool. Full battle order.

Something minor: The Avea hits the right forearm when cross-slung while walking. A little bit annoying and distracting.

But overall, I like it. The bag looks dapper without the Aveas. And with it, the bag becomes Indiana Jones-ish. It's like having two different bags in one.

Just got a hadley small recently and hadley digital yesterday evening at Mr Chan's. Lovely bags I have to say. Lets see if they last with my usage...

To help others make their decision, here's what I can fit in both:

Hadley Digital:

The DSLR load out:
-5D MkIII or 7D
-24-105 (attached)
-50 1.4 with hood
"Just nice" fit

or

The light micro 4/3 load out:
-OMD
-12-50 (attached)
-20 f1.7
loose fit with lots of space

or

My daily "walk around" load out:
-X100
-iPod Touch with amp in a Crumpler pouch
-Earphones in a square metal tin case
-Foldable umbrella (less than 8 inches in length)
-X100 hood
-X100 spare battery
"just nice" fit

Hadley Small:

The DSLR load out:
-5D MkIII or 7D
-24-105 (attached)
-50 1.4 with hood
-10-22
"just nice" fit with space for a pancake lens.

or

The mirrorless load out:
-x100
-OMD
-12-50 (attached)
-20 1.7
-X100 spare battery
-X100 hood
"Just nice" fit with space for extras or even a lens or two.

-X100
-X100 hood
-X100 spare battery
-iPod touch with amp in a Crumpler pouch
-Earphones in a square metal tin case
-Foldable umbrella (less than 8 inches)
-iPad 3
-Portable charger
"Just nice" fit with space for a few extra small barang.

Note that in all cases, the front pockets were never used. Probably can put some stuff in there as well!

Considering getting the hadley pro soon as well!

Can show with photos how you fit your canon gears with the Hadley digital to have the just nice fit?

Here's the equipment going inside the bag. For this demonstration, I'll be using the bigger 5D MkIII instead of the smaller 7D:

Step 1:

One divider will be used for this setup, with the 50mm going in face down with the hood on (not reversed)

Step 2:

Slot the 5D in facedown with 24-105 attached.

Done! Here's the Hadley Digital loaded up and closed!

Excuse my quick one handed snaps and hope you find this useful!

 

[Panaromic]

nice!

I see. Thanks for the photos. I see you have only 1 insert used so you can have both lenses face down. I shall try that as well. Can't get any camera strap into the bag, can you?

 

[holywing]

You guys might wanna check out the Billingham laptop and tablet slip cases over at PK Chan's. Beauties!

how much?

 

[LiQuiFireX]

how much?

You should drop PK Chan a message for pricing.

I am able to fit a regular camera strap into the bag without an issue. Can't fit my Sunsniper sling strap inside. Read on one of the other forums someone managed to squeeze in a black rapid sling strap inside. A hand strap/grip should be able to fit as well:

or

I can fit my sling strap in my hadley small and my just newly acquired hadley pro I bought from PK Chan a few weeks back:

 

[LiQuiFireX]

Here is my hadley pro with the light setup above closed up!

I was really surprised to be able to fit this much into the hadley pro:
-5D MKIII
-70-300L with tripod collar flipped up (attached)
-28mm
-50mm
-24-105L
-10-22mm
-Macbook Air 11
-Earphones in metal tin case (side pouch)
-iPod touch + amp (side pouch)

Looks like still enough space for a 40mm pancake if I really wanted to. Great bag!
