Billingham Hadley Digital

[keez]

My Digilux 3 and D-Lux 3 and all the other stuff fits in my Domke F7.
A very fine bag , but....BIG !!.
For a daytrip i was looking for a solution.
I found it : the Billingham Hadley Digital.
My Digilux 3 with 14-50 lens fits perfect in the bag.
In the front pocket my wallet, that's it.
This is a realy good and very neice solution.

Hi Keez,

Will you bring the Hadley Digital to the Rotterdam meeting? I would very much appreciate the opportunity to see the bag in person and to compare it to my Billingham VG380.

Best,
Joachim

I've been considering one of the LowePro Slings so I am grateful for your post. Is the 100 large enough to hold the D3/L1 with the kit lens and hood mounted? Or do you have to take the hood off, or reverse it, to make it fit?

I have an L1/D3 with the kit lens and hood, the 25mm 1.4 lens, a D-Lux 3 and various small accessories. Am I going to be ok with the 100?

Did you look at the 200 sling when you made your decision?

Thanks!

Nick,
I have in the 100 my D3 with the kit lens, a OLY 36 flash + 2 filters 72 mm dia, spare batteryand several SD cards.
The hood must be reversed on the lens because of space. The lens is always mounted on the camera. I looked also at the 200, but I found this a bit too big for my current outfit, and I want to travel light, i.e. not running around with much equipment.
Don't thinkthat there will be enough rom to carry the 25 mm + D-Lux 3 in the 100.
I believe that the 200 is better suitable for you, or even the 300.
Try thedifferent sizes in the store.

Good luck!

Thanks for the good counsel. I checked out the 100, with high hopes it would be large enough for me. (Traveling light and small is a priority!) But, as you predicted it was a tad too tight. So, I bought the 200.

It's just great. Extremely well thought out and very well built. What's more it doesn't scream "expensive camera inside."

Thanks for your advice. It was very helpful.

Do bear in mind the Sling series is designed for right-handers. If you are left-handed, like me, they are useless.

Regards,

Bill

Hello,
I'm very interested too in a compact bag for my Digilux 3. The Hadley Digital seems perfect. Can you post a photo whith the camera in the bag, that will be a great help for me to decide myself. Thanks.
