one I bought nearly 40 years ago does look like a fishing bag with an insert
made of closed cell foam.cheers,Frank D.

Could be the Eventer is an old style and they've learned a lot since. They
also sell the original Billingham at an oddly jacked up price. It's nice it
looks more like a fishing or duffel bag and less like a camera bag which is
a big plus for me. But the 555 is the modern version of that and where I'd
like to go. Not only can you put your camera in it but your laundry and a
spare jacket and pants and a few spare books.

Eventer, or have used one, please refrain):

Boy howdy is it more tan twice the price of a Hadley Pro. Question: assuming
you have one, other than the increased cost of materials, (love the leather
bottom), is it worth it? Also, are the inerds the same as the Pro?

the bag. Or, just a plain old review. Really, anything about the Eventer.
Seems like people are mum on it. Perhaps it is because folks know they can
just buy a Hadley Pro.

? ? Just a last ditch query.
