[Leica] Off & Tired Topic Warning: the Billingham Hadley Pro

[Mark Rabiner]

The green whatever they call it is my choice too. My only problem with it is it just looks too darned good. The color of money.

    Well, team, to close the chapter, the Hadley Pro is ordered. I thought I was going with the same color scheme as my Domkes, and I was right. Just not as right as I thought. I have two color schemes: green, and black and grey. Thought I’d continue the grey and black color scheme. My daughter, though (and if I’m honest, me) decided that the dark green with chocolate leather was a more subtle option, which is really exactly what I was going for. Sadly, that left the grey, blue and red ones in the cold. So sad.
    
    Now, back to obsessing about my next 50mm lens. Yay! 
    
    Thanks or your advice!

But also looks like the bag they had marketed as a camera bag was pretty much the same as their other bags. I held a bunch of them in my hands and they looked like a perfect camera bag for me. I just have to save up. I even looked last year at the camera bag version at the Filson store on Great Jones street. It's perfect. Straps a tad thin and its overall look is tiny bit more ostentatious than Billingham. As in trying too hard to look expensive. As in making it back here on the subway after a late movie less of a sure deal. If they made them in black it would downkey them. ... call it the New York version. As anything not make of black fabric in NY stands out just a bit too much.
