Georges,

I also have the Filson Medium Field Bag (Style #232)
<http://smtp2.thewwwstore.com/filson/232.HTM>
and found that the insert made for the Billingham Hadley (original)
<http://www.billingham.co.uk/newbillweb/html2/accessories/tshadin.htm>
is  fitting the Filson perfectly.

A great bag.

On the terrace of the Empire State Building two days ago, I saw somebody
using an old Filson Rucksack (Style #262)
<http://smtp2.thewwwstore.com/filson/262.HTM> as a camera bag.

Very nice. As they say : "it gains character with use."
