Thanks. John, The difference is under the flap. There is a zipper on the #240 to close the main compartment. And an oval-shaped "always open" opening on the #232. I choose the latest because I found it faster for photographic purpose. And the normal Billingham Hadley insert fit it exactly. With the #240, I think you will need the biggest Hadley insert. The main difference with the Billingham is the "Oil Finish". A little bit sticky at the beginning. Lucien
