I have both.
I have a narrow and a wide Billypad. please don't buy the wrong width.
I agree. should come with the bag.
I dropped my Hadley Digital. slipped off my shoulder. cost me a b&w filter. could have been much worse

It was to cumbersome to get my camera's out of the back. I wish they would have kept the original hadley pro design just larger. Yeh, I''d have preferred the quick release style straps like the Hadley Pro. I don't find I need to fasten the straps, other than for security, when I'm using the bag. Although I'm not usually putting the camera in/out the bag a lot.

Very happy with the bag, love the look and feel and it holds everything I need. Not a pro photographer so chose the Olympus as I wanted a camera that I would be willing to carry around (without causing a spinal injury). Also helped that I got a superb deal on it, $400 off coupon from JB and $300 cash back from Olympus was too hard to resist.  Paid full price for mine. bought a grip too. a 40-150 lens (great!) Dave

Jan 09, 2015 10:03 | #1467 I have too many to post!! I have a large model which is kept in a cupboard and now used only for binoculars and scopes; for photography I choose between the Hadley Digital if I'm going out with the 5D3 and a single lens (50L or 135L normally); f1.4 if I'm going out with two lenses, or the Hadley Pro if I'm taking everything. Mostly I use the f1.4, and carry the 5D3 with 50mm attached, and the 135 + cleaning stuff in the other compartment. GREAT bags. My only slight concern is that the keyholes in the leather straps become a bit loose after a while, and if the bag is slung around my backside in a bustling crowd, I think a skilled thief could easily get a hand inside without me feeling it. I try to stay aware at all times when in a crowd, and carry the bag at the front if worried. Flickr gallery

Lucky for me I've have a few of these bags as a while now and alternate between them. The leather snaps are still tight on each one.

Feb 25, 2015 05:29 | #1470 I have had to buy a new Camera bag as my walkabout crumpler has became worn near the zip area. I decided if i'm gonna spend some decent money on a new bag i may aswell go for one of the best, since my crumpler was'nt water/rain proof.
