I was thinking about picking it up with anticipation of getting a 70-200 MKII, since that clearly will not fit in the pro mounted. Camera: Leica M240 - Summilux 35mm 1.4 FLE

Also trying to see if anyone has a 70-200 and 24-70 in their Hadley Pro. I just got a Hadley large (non pro) and the 70-200 2.8 is ii mounted fits perfectly height wise with the hood reversed. The 24-70 will also fit fine along with a couple more lenses. The bag is surprisingly big. Dean Chiang

Just trying to see how people that have just the pro got a 70-200 and 24-70 in the bag. Camera: Leica M240 - Summilux 35mm 1.4 FLE

This is what made the Hadley series of bags some of the best shoulder bags on the market. Once that instant opening/closing system is gone, the shoulder bag is nowhere near as practical. The Hadley Large Pro is most probably going to make a great transport bag, but for a working bag, I'd still pick a Hadley Large over anything else with a different closure system. • Wedding Photographer - Sydney and Wollongong

Im just trying to get information from someone that uses the hadley pro (original) with a 70-200... I would find it cumbersome to constantly having to take the 70-200 off the camera to put it back in the back. I also do not do this professionally. So usually when I take my camera out of the bag it is out for a good amount of time, so I dont think what you stated above would effect me to much beause removing two buttons is the same as un-doing two clog-balls in my book.

I've been trying to figure out what kind of closure the large pro has--just know it's not what the normal bags have. bh says "type of closure" = "press studs". does that mean buttons? it looks to me like it might just use buckles? Looks like buttons to me. Actually doesn't look as bad. I think I'm going to try it out. B and H has the wrong dimensions for the bag. Directly from Billingham Hadley Large Pro, bag only External dimensions (excluding handle) W440mm (17¼") x D180mm (7⅛") x H320mm (12⅝") Not the 14.6 B and H is saying.

B and H has the wrong dimensions for the bag. Directly from Billingham Not the 14.6 B and H is saying. My main reason I want it is to fit the 70-200 MKII mounted without being to much taller then the Pro and a couple inches wider. When I travel for work the Hadley Pro is too small and I usually end up taking the F-stop Guru since I can stuff my laptop in it along with other things. So this will be a nicer bag to carry when walking around in my suit, feels funny to have a backpack on. oh!--the closure is purely by the handle at the top of the bag!? interesting... I've never seen that kind of design before. hmm... Dean Chiang

Even if it's just press studs on the leather handle, it's going to be much slower than a Hadley clogball and leather closure. I used to have a Billingham 445 (a long time ago), and it was not as quick or painless to get in and out of as my Hadley Large. The Hadley line of bags really excel at this... the Hadley Large Pro might not be quite as good in that regard. But then it most probably needs that extra support, so an exception had to be made.

How often do you open and close during a shooting session? The bag is sufficiently deep that you’re not going to up end it and spills it’s contents. The top flap can relax with gravity until it’s time to affix it before leaving the site.
