[Empty] 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.

[0.435 lb] EXCELLENT ADDITION MY BILLINGHAM M LEICA COMBINATION BAG

[Universal] 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.

[Empty] 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] 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 am using my EVENT bag to hold a Pentax K1 with large lens, Macro lens in hard case, flash and a small lens with my MAC Pro in the sleeve on the side. Great padding all round. The quality of stitching, material used and shoulder strap - couldn't be better. I thought long and hard in spending the money required for this bag, but I haven't been happy with other bags to protect the camera and non can hold my MAC.

[Yes] As long as the photographer knows what can & should comfortably fit into the 3 main compartments and the couple of extra pockets, then this is perfect.
Dont look for all the modern things of lap top holder, water bottle holder etc.
that is not what this beautiful bag is about.

[Flap with Stud] 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.

[Yes] 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.

[Empty] I have two of the Eventers they hold 2 cameras and depending on your lens can hold a lot of gear they age well still look good after a few years of travel , I recently purchased a hadley pro to have a lighter bag when needed
