[Yes] Not long ago I was looking for a new camera bag. My research lead me to explore The offerings from Billingham of England. The research also demonstrated uniformly positive remarks from all who bought them.With these factors in mind, I ordered the Hadley Pro. On a recent trip to photograph a wedding, I found the bag provided exceptional protection for some expensive Nikon glass. Everything I needed was readily at hand, and even the rain did not affect my shooting. The internal padding was excellent, and easily configured. I found that I could make use of some additional room, so I ordered two more Avea side bags. I am enthusiastic about the ease of use, and would highly recommend this bag to professionals and amateurs alike. It is wonderful!

[0.455 lb] If you've got a Billingham shoulder bag such as a Hadley Pro or Hadley Large, or one of the 7 series, you'll no doubt have noticed that sliplock-type side or end pouches made by Lowepro and Tamrac can't be attached. The reason is that Billingham decided to use a narrowly sewn double-loop side attachment. The Avea 3 is the smallest Billingham side pouch and it's specifically designed to securely attach to the ends of all Billingham bags which feature the double-loop attachment. I use the Avea 3 to hold several items I want to get at quickly under any circumstances: a 3GB iPod, earbuds, Lenspen and a writing pen. Because the Avea 3 has a fixed divider in its main compartment, earbuds can be kept coiled and away from the other items. The Avea 3 has an inner, integrated liner with a drawstring top that can be cinched tight using the attached cord and sliding lock. Combined with the full top flap, weather including wind borne dust, splashes and even driving rain are kept out of the pouch. As usual, Billingham's signature fabric remains tough, abrasion resistant and good looking no matter what sort of treatment it receives. During the first month of daily use attached to my Billingham Hadley Pro, the Avea 3 gradually broke in to the point where it began to conform to the left end of the Hadley. The leather strip to which the snap closure is affixed also softened enough to be easily worked. After two months of daily use, I'm not looking anywhere else for a replacement pouch. The Avea 3 is an excellent match for the Hadley series of bags. It's nicely sized and also looks balanced on all the medium size Billingham shoulder bags with which its compatible. If you need just a bit of extra room and fast access to frequently used items while you're exploring the world with your camera and a Billingham bag, the Avea 3 should do the trick. Highly recommended.

[Empty] On my belt for one lens. and his viewfinder. I have to modify the interior to put my leica M 18mm and viewfinder inside, but now it is perfect, not too big and useful in ride.

[Snap Fastener] Perfect for my Billingham Hadley Pro bag. The AVEA 5 doesn't fit very well for me. AVEA 3 is smaller and more compact. I used to put 2 of them on my bag. Billingham's quality and finishing is amazing!

[Empty] EXCELLENT ADDITION MY BILLINGHAM M LEICA COMBINATION BAG

[Snap Fastener] I love the design and like the way it fastens to the bag. When that thing is snapped down it's not going anywhere accidentally. The AVEA 3 works beautifully on the Hadley Pro but understand it's pretty small and will not hold a flash or lens or even a filter. I use it for my memory card wallet, ink pen, lens pen and small flashlight. There is a cinch at the top under the flap that works very nicely to secure items. For an additional 3rd layer of security, I clipped the ribbon from my card wallet to the cord of the cinch. Pricing is odd. The 3 and 5 are the same price and one is 4 times the material of the other. I ordered both and when you see the difference the pricing really becomes puzzling. I guess they figured them like shoes.

[Snap Fastener] Got this as a smaller case for a Leica M10 when I want to pack light with the 40mm M-Rokkor (or Summicron) lens. Works well for this purpose, allowing me to throw the camera in my commuting pack safely. The ability to use it to carry some extra stuff, attached to the side of the Hadley Digital is a nice bonus.

[Empty] I purchased this pouch because I needed a place to put my keys. I use my Hadley Pro bag everyday. I use it as both a camera bag and purse. Since I am female, I can carry my camera bag everywhere and no one knows any I am carrying camera gear. I needed a place to put my keys and I decided to try this pouch. It is perfect addition to the Hadley Pro. Color match is perfect. Size is perfect. My keys are now easy to reach as well as very handy. I love this little pouch. If you need something to carry small items in, this pouch is great. Just remember that it is small. My iphone 5S fits in it but my friends 6S will not. Still, it works great for me.

[0.455 lb] Nice small sized pouch with typical Billingham quality. Good for batteries, cleaning supplies, other small items. Attaches securely and has a nice drawstring top.

[Empty] I chose the Hadley Pro bag over the Pro Large and Packington because it is smaller and I wanted a bag specifically to travel light. I later purchased the AVEA 5 side pouches due to the fact that they were padded, could accommodate a flash and/or prime lens, all within easy reach. The pouches add bulk, to the Hadley's otherwise svelte form, but these pouches can easily be added or removed according to the requirements of the shoot. I am particularly impressed with the craftsmanship and appearance of the side bags but the high quality commands an equally high price.
