I've had this for over 10 years, and its still as good as new. Originally I purchased it to hold my Mamiya 7. But its not really deep (thick) enough for my D90, and 18-200mm. Soon, I'm hoping to get a 10-20 (or similar) and, later, a flashgun SB-600/800.

Any suggestions for something a tad bigger, but not too big? I prefer the shoulder strap, as I like to have everything within reach, and on my person. Also, I like the natural fabrics Billingham use. I've tried a backpack, and didn't like it. And I've tried 'boxy' synthetic/foam-filled shoulder bags and didn't like those either. Though I don't really have any budget for a new Billingham bag, maybe used. Or what else is there?

The Hadley has a removable foam liner, so doubles up as a general shoulder bag, and (with foam) laptop bag. Anything so useful would be great.
 
That does look OK - and the price is right! It seems that RS are mail order only?

Yep, RS are mail order only..........but damn quick. I ordered mine by email at lunchtime on one day and got it about 10 am the following day!!

Photos and lots of good stuff on this thread:

In mine I normally carry a gripped D300 with Sigma 28-70 attached plus a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8, a Sigma 10-20 and a Nikon 70-300mm VR, plus SB600 flash, cables etc, spare batteries, memory cards, and still room for more bits & bobs.

Hope all this helps. Oh, and Redsnapper normally give a TP discount of 10% (but you won't get it on this bag as it's already on offer)!
