The Photo Hadley does indeed look like anything other than a camera bag. I
used it for 18 months (a black canvas and tan leather model) while I
commuted daily to central London from Cambridgeshire so that I had a camera
ready to take pictures of city life but with space for a newspaper and
documents etc...

They are cheaper than that in the UK. Try Speed Graphic +44 1420 543366
for their "Pocketbook" (catalogue). The Hadleys cost £72, 75.50 and 82.20
for the Small, Original and Large respectively. However, I spoke to
Billingham when trying to decide whether to buy a large Hadley or a
Packington and he said that the Large did not look quite as neat as the
Original - the extra material does not fold and pleat quite as well. My
Hadley (Original) is quite spacious - one or 2 OM bodies, 2 or 3 Zuiko
lenses and loads of pocket space.
>Suggestion for alternative bags?
The Billingham 206 - black leather and black canvas with the capability to
attach end pockets (£118 plus £26.95 for each pocket).
No I do not have any connection with Speed Graphic or Billingham; but they
have given me good service.
