Grrrrr!!!!! 17th street photo shipped me a 207 instead of a 307 and no one else seems to have the 307 in stock. Sucks to be me

Well ... you could just keep it and use it ... Kind of a "collection starter".

Then order the 307 to "add to your collection"...


I like the 207 which I got after agonizing over the available sizes for months.
Currently using it for my f/2.8 zooms with 24-70L, 70-200L, flash, and now 16-35L (replacing the smaller 17-40L). I just received a new Superflex insert to better hold the slightly larger wide angle lens. A lot of stuff in a fairly small bag!

lol!! thanks for the suggestion Howard, I'm doing well, but I can't afford a $500 collection starter

The 207 IS quite spacious, more than I thought, but I need to get a tablet in there with my kit and I just don't think it'll make it. I'm not trying to carry everything, but I want 3 lenses + body & flash without much bulge. Trust me, I've already tried to make everything fit....

Edit: I will say the bag is drop dead gorgeous in person, I'm tearing up as I repack it to send back..sniff

More impressive in person than they are in the photos, neh?

I'd have a hard time parting with it too.

Good Gear.
I just spent awhile at:

Rob is the man I bought my Hadley Digital from. He had the L2 in stock. Didn't suit me. Hadley Small might.

But there are a number of bags distracting me right now.
-Pro Messenger. $150 small one
-Retro 10 black. $140
-Retro 5 black $140
-Classified 160 AW $105

The Digital doesn't quite have enough room for everydaycarry for me. It is perfect for what I intended it for. A little protection carrying camera and a lens.

This is one of the few things I can say that looks better in real life than the picture. The bag just oozes class, my SO never pays attention to any of the bags I buy but as soon as I opened the box her exact words were "DAM!! now that's a nice bag!"
Now I've gotta make sure it gets shipped back, I have a strange feeling it might come up missing..lol!!!

B&H seems to have the 307:

Ken, I was going to hold back buying that bag but, decided to put in a order for the 307! Heck! It's Christmas, right?

And a seriously merry Christmas to both you guys. The 307 is a beautiful bag.

And yet one more reason on the list of reasons that I need to move down to NC. My wife needs to meet yours - I think she could be a good influence.

Awesome present. You're going to love that bag.

Hehe! After spending a ton for her birthday/xmas and letting me buy the 1D X, it's all good.
