About Billingham:

Billingham are a family owned company, manufacturing camera bags for the world’s photographers since 1973 alongside a range of leisure and laptop bags. All bags are made in the West Midlands area of England, a region famous for manufacturing. A core reason for Billingham’s longevity is the fact that from the start, the Billingham family were determined that their products would always be made to the very highest standards from the best available materials to provide high levels of protection for their valued contents.

A notable feature of Billingham camera bags is that they are made from a distincive 3-layer waterpoof canvas that never needs reproofing. They also feature genuine top grain leather and solid brass details.

Like any premium product, the quality of materials, design and craftsmanship that goes into creating a Billingham means that it represents a significant investment. It’s important that they don’t just look beautiful, but that they do their job of protecting equipment wherever they are and whatever they’re being used for – year in and year out.

It's Lovely. I got the "One" which is beautifully made and looks fantastic. I'll never use the half insert though and can't help feeling a shoulder strap should be included. Add the shoulder strap and the optional full insert it stars looking very expensive but it is extremely high quality and very protective of the kit. Do I regret the expenditure? Not when I consider the value of the kit snuggled Inside!

I emailed Billingham UK and told them the equipment that I wanted to put in the bag and asked for their suggestion of what bag I should buy. The recommend the Hadley One and it is perfect for my needs. Great quality and service from everyone at Billingham. Also I can fit more into this bag because it is so flexible, no hard sides to restrict me from putting oversized items in it. Also the bag is so well padded that I don't worry at all about any tight fitting items as it is well protected. I would rate it higher than a 5 if I could

The bag is as amazing as expected, I’ve been a billingham user for 25 years, they just seem to get better and even more well made, the Hadley one is a perfect size for use as an everyday work bag, fits files laptop and other stuff, bought for that purpose as I have a Hadley pro and 550 for lugging camera stuff, it will probably see some action and travel around the world with me with cameras in time. Only minor gripe nothing to do with the bag, UPS charged a big admin charge on top of local duties when delivered overseas, around 35 GBP equivalent which makes it more than UK VAT once local duties are applied

I have just bought one of these bags, it is more capacious than I had originally thought. There is plenty of room for a Nikon D4, 24-70 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8 and a MacBook Pro 13". Ideal for holidays where more than one body is a luxury. I also have a 330, and a 445 which have given great service over many years. Unfortunately the 330 lacks the dedicated space of a computer and the 445 is too big for short-haul flying so the Hadley One looks to be a perfect fit. If you need to keep it simple this bag is hard to beat.

Had this for over a year now. I have two camera specific bags (225 and 550) which I’ve had for years, so treated myself to this one as my main work / travel bag. Simply ... it’s the best laptop / work / travel bag I’ve ever had; it’s with me very single day.

It's a reliable, nice, handmade bag with soul, that is so satisfying picking it up every day. It's lacking a bit of organising space in the front pockets, and the snaps can't really be locked with one hand, but when you think about the whole package, you don't really care about it. I have a feeling, it will last decades without an issue and it suites my needs 100%.
