[4] After expending/inverting thousands of dollars in photographic equipment I like to carefully select and buy a great camera bag to carry that expensive gear.

I'm a big fan of camera bags so I own many bags, one for every occasion or one for every particular situation that I could be up to. This is my first Billingham bag and I must say that I'm impressed.

The quality of its materials and attention to every detail are better than any other bag I own, not to mention is by far the most elegant of the bunch.

Since it was made for Leica cameras or small mirrorless in mind (Like the Fujifilm X-T line) my biggest concern was if the Hadley Small Pro was big enough to hold a bigger camera like the Fujifilm X-H1 or the Sony A7 line and the answer is yes.

In the main compartment I'm able to fit a Fuji X-H1 with a 23mm f2 lens attached a Fuji 56mm f1.2 and a Fuji 16mm f2.8 or a fuji 16mm f1.4. In total 1 camera and 3 lenses thanks to its horizontal and vertical organizers.

I went for the small version of the Billingham Hadley line because I like to travel light when I'm using a messenger bag, that is because if I use a larger messenger bag and filled up with more gear is going to be heavier and in a long walk is going to cause me pain on my shoulder because I'm holding all the weight in just one shoulder.

Yes, it is water proof and in case you damage any part of the straps you are able to buy a spare part.

[2.5 lb] The bag is well made and lightweight. It is smaller than I expected but works well for my purposes, which was to safely carry a Leica Q2 with additional room for charger, strap, spare battery, and SD Cards. I haven't tested the water resiliency as yet but the build quality would not give rise to any concerns. Fully meets my functional requirements and is a pretty good-looking bag. Kinda wish I'd gotten the red one but this is a keeper.

[Flap, Zipper] Have used this bag for nearly a month and find it to be my favorite. Quality of the materials, padding and craftsmanship are excellent as expected. As the name says, it is small, but carries more equipment than I imagined. I am a Fuji shooter. I replaced the dividers with two Peak Design sling replacement dividers with folding partitions. With that change I can fit an X-T3 with 18-55 attached, a large lens with the divider folded flat (55-200, 80 macro or 10-24) and a smaller lens (14, 23/2 etc.) on the other side. The front flaps have a snap for closure, but also a second snap to reduce the volume so batteries, filters etc. can’t move around in transport. Also appreciate the top flap. With it closed, I tuck a camera strap above the camera and never worry about the metal parts of the strap scratching the LCD. Great bag!

[Flap, Zipper] Very strongest. Well laid out

[4] Very good.

[4] This bag is extremely well made, light, portable, and just right for mirrorless camera with lens, one extra lens, and assorted supplies.

[4] Finally!! I found the perfect bag for me. Style, functionality, quality, design. Extremely happy. This bag will last lifetime.

[4] I bought this bag for my girlfriend, for Christmas. She loves it. She gets her crop frame Nikon D7200 DLSR, with a Sigma 18-250mm lens on it, plus a Nikon 35mm f/1.8 lens, in the main compartment, and still has room for another lens-small to medium sized-there. The front dump pockets have room for a speedlight, cleaning kit, batteries charger, memory cards, notebook, and pens. The back pocket can hold her maps, and passport. A space between the main compartment insert, and the interior back of the main compartment, can hold her 8” Kindle Fire without cover. To get that Kindle with a cover, or a larger tablet-like her iPad-in that space, she would need a larger version of the bag design...such as the Hadley Pro, or Hadley One. As small as this Small Pro bag is, it does hold a lot. She loves it, and puts it to good use....already carrying it around, and taking holiday photos. For a ‘grab&go’ type using on the run kind of thing, one would be better served with smaller gear-micro four thirds, or such-or a different bag design. Billingham has other designs to consider for such. The 5 series....225, 335, etc....the 7 series...107, 307, etc. My GF is the type to sit on a park bench, or such, and take things out of the bag / put things into it, while stationary, to change lenses, rather than reach into the bag as she walks along, so this design works for her. To each his /her own. This is a great bag, and serves her well, and was well worth the money.

[Flap, Zipper] Finally available in the US. It has all the features missing on my Hadley small, particularly the top handle and the rear zipper compartment. Well worth the wait. Of course, it has the expected Billingham quality.

[Flap, Zipper] If you shoot with a DSLR this is probably not the size bag you want. But I shoot long term projects and my walk around kit is 2 rangefinders, 2 lens, digital audio recorder, extra camera battery, 4 AA for the recorder, assorted misc items and two pair of socks. One camera is on shoulder and everything else inside. If need be a light jacket fits under the flap. That was the setup for the last several years with the Small Pro Hadley but I always missed the zippered rear pocket, a detail that through 45 years of bags has always proved of great use. The new Version of this bag has corrected that issue. Great bag. Versatile and keeps me from over packing. Highly recommended if your working kit is suitable.
