[9 x 8 x 4"] This is not a cheap bag, and you’ll probably find larger bags for much cheaper. However, this is a Billingham and if you know Billingham then you know it’s going to be a stylish and functional bag, that will definitely turn heads.

[Shoulder Strap] I own several Billingham bags: Hadley Pro, Hadley Large and f1.4. The oldest of which is the Hadley Large. The challenge with the Hadley Pro and Hadley Large is that these bags are narrow where it takes some fiddling to get my Fuji X-T2 and X-Pro2 cameras in and out with lenses mounted. I wanted a lightly wider bag (front to back) to make it easier to use with two cameras. When the Hadley One was announced, I ordered it right away. The bag answers my prayers. It also features a 2 wide removable strap which makes the bag more comfortable when loaded up with gear. A dedicated laptop pocket accommodates my 13 MacBook Pro AND iPad Pro 9.5. When I travel, however, I only take my iPad Pro and leave the laptop home. The fit and finish is the usual top-notch Billingham quality. It should last for years and the nob and leather closures are quiet and fast to open and close. No velcro ever on a Billingham bag. I purchased mine in fibernyte Khaki with chocolate brown leather trim. This is the same color scheme and materials as my f1.4 bag. It's beautiful and doesn't scream expensive camera gear inside.

[2] I hesitated getting this bag for quite a while because it indicated only capacity for a 13" MacBook, and a response from B&H customer service indicated the same. I wish I had not waited so long. My 15" 2017 MacBook Pro fits in the padded compartment easily with a (small) bit of room to spare. It easily accommodates an E-M1.2 w/ 12-100mm lens and 60mm macro with some room to spare for other accessories.


This is a "just right size" bag for field work. With the dividers removed, there is plenty of room for other non-camera equipment or use as an overnighter as well. This is the perfect complement to the cavernous 555 that holds the full complement of equipment when I travel. I only have several weeks of wear on the Hadley One and a year and a half on the 555. But neither has been treated gently and the Hadley One has been used in rocky, dusty, hot desert conditions in the field and still looks new. I expect that my children will be enjoying these bags in the (hopefully) far future. It is expensive, but of a commensurate quality.

[2] Bought this bag to hold all my day photo gear and essentials while I traveling outside the country. This is an airport dream bag. It is the perfect size to hold my gear snug and secure without being oversized and a burden. I opted to get the additional shoulder pad option as a days equipment comes to about 15lbs and it makes a big difference to distribute the weight. I added my Peak Design CapturePro to the strap for when I need the camera available but not in my hands without adding another strap around my neck. I have a Fuji-Xpro2, 16-55, 100-400, 1.5 converter, Nissin Di700A Flash, and iPad Pro loaded and have 1/3 the bag, one front pocket, and the back slip pocket still available. There is enough room to bring it up to the 22 lbs carry on limit. I'm impressed with the style and have no doubts that it will endure the riggers of travel while keeping my equipment safe.

[1.23 lb] Really happy with this Billingham, handle on top, no zipper for easier access, trolley luggage strap in back, perfect for carry on, for DSLR and a lens, or a 2 mirrorless bodies and a couple lenses.

[Clog Bolt, Flap] fits 2 leicas, a hassy and a 15" macbook pro in the laptop pocket. plus all the extra little stuff. shes a goooood girl

[Clog Bolt, Flap] What can I say about this Billingham bag? It’s typical Billingham quality of course. The design that swallows way more gear than it should.� I was using a Hadley Pro when I added a third body, all Fujis. The Pro could hold three bodies and a few lenses but it was getting tight. It was also hard to stuff in the T1 or T2 with the grip. The One allows for the battery grip and an E-2 and E-3. Eight lenses are in there and a couple of flashes. Plenty room left for the usual junk we haul along.� It’s a wonderful bag. My only complaint is that they didn’t use the button-up flap on the pockets like the Hadley Pro.
