Having used Billingham bags since 95, I read a review of the Hadley range (only luiveorspy familiar with the 5 range) and wanting something a little larger than my tatty f5.6. What sold me on this bag was a reviewer who mentioned what ha described as the battering ram’ that some shoulder bags can become. The Hadley fits close to the body and avoids the problem of accidentally bashing people with it. I find it fine with a Nikon F2AS with lens attached, two further lens, incident light meter and Filofax, pens etc. Have been toting with the idea of adding two Avea 03 side pouches but getting my cobbler to stitch them on for security. Please bear in mind that, along with Barbour clothes and Mini cars, these bags are MADE IN BRITAIN! I buy all this stuff, including car and clothing, because I think it might KEEP SOME POOR SOD IN A JOB!
