Billingham Hadley Pro Camera Shoulder Bag (Sage/Chestnut) – Excellent

Like all other Hadleys (except the Hadley Digital) the Pro comes with a removable padded ‘bucket’ insert (including a lid) made with fabric covered foam that protects your gear from all sides. Remove this insert and you can turn the Hadley Pro into a stylish messenger bag. The main flap is sculpted around the opening to prevent rain, snow or unwanted fingers getting into the bag – perfect for street photography. Of course the rain protection doesn’t stop there – like all Billingham bags it is made from a three layer fabric with a core of butyl rubber that is impermeable to water.
The bag easily fits most DSLRs (without a battery grip) or almost any mirrorless camera – and a couple of small to medium sized lenses with accessories. The capacity of the bag can be increased with our optional Avea pockets that attach to the leather side panels.

For ease of access the Pro features the Quick Release System (QRS) to which we have added solid brass buckles. Why both? Simple, the QRS allows you to open and close the bag quickly and securely. The buckles allow you to tailor the ‘fit’ of the front pockets  to suit your needs.
Inside the padded insert there are two dividers, one original, and one not.  Additionally, on the back of the bag is a discrete zipped compartment – perfect for storing airline tickets or maps.
Don’t forget that because it’s a Billingham camera bag it is made in England
