Saw a couple of these recently and the lust bug bit!
Anyone have one of these? I have been researching the Hadley Pro and Large bags and it gradually dawned on me that the inserts are bought separately. Is this the case? ( no pun intended)
I know they are quite small but thats ok because I dont carry a lot of stuff and they seem ideal for me.
Any info / pictures would help. Any in the attic?

I got the Billingham 335 about 3 weeks ago and I love it. It's just so stylish and practical. Easily big enough for all my needs.
The 335 includes all the insets I will need.
No pics of mine but it looks identical to the web picture here.

I just knew that if I didn't buy now it I would end up spending more in the end.
 
I bought a big Billlingham a couple years ago, I think the 445. Looked great, really well made but unfortunately loaded with kit it was bloody uncomfortable to carry. It did come with the inserts though.

I've got a Hadley Pro and a Packington - both come with padded inserts but they are removable.

I use my Packington solely as a travel bag - superb bit if kit and perfect for air travel carry-on.

The Hadley Pro in black makes a great manbag!!:)
 
Thanks. I looked on a few web sites and they say the inserts are included too, so, it's just a choice between the Large or the Pro. Nice point about the black Pro(;) )Davek, thanks

So, I ended up with a Hadley Original. Seems it's in-between the Pro and large size and my kit fits in it perfectly. Beautiful well made bag with new insert and a comfy shoulder strap

Let's see how long I keep this one!

Good bag - I have one of these for when I just want to take a body and couple of lenses. Also useful being able to take out the insert with all the gear and use it as a man-bag which I do fairly often :)
 
I use a packington holding -

D700 + 24-70
70-200
14-24
SB900
