In Summary a cool classic bag, that would perfectly fit your macbook pro 15 inch and an Leica M-system consisting of 3 lenses and 2 M bodies

Comments about Billingham Hadley Shoulder Bag, Large:
Gershwin wrote a good tune, "That Special Feeling." The specifics of a fine Billingham bag do not justify the choice over other excellent bags, point by point, but with a Billingham bag -- like a Leica camera -- the justification for choosing a Billingham is the cumulative effect of thoroughgoing perfect quality of materials and workmanship and "That Special Feeling." If you don't feel it, you won't miss it, but if you do, you do, as Yogi Berra might say. Louis H. Hamel, Jr., Esq.

Comments about Billingham Hadley Shoulder Bag, Large:
There's just the right amount of room for a large DSLR camera body and three essential lenses. It's easy and fast to flip open the top and quickly grab your equipment without worrying about zippers or anything metal that might scratch. The bag, when full of equipment, is a very manageable size for moving around even in a crowd. It happens to be very attractive looking, a classic design, and extremely sturdy.

Comments about Billingham Hadley Shoulder Bag, Large:
I use this bag to carry my books and 15 inch laptop in. I also use it to carry my Nikon D500 and two lenses.
The bag is incredibly sturdy. The pockets in the front are much bigger than I imagined them to be. They even expand if you want them too. I've also gotten a lot of compliments on the look of the bag. I like that it doesn't look like a typical clunky camera bag.
The only drawback to this bag is that there isn't a convenient space for my collapsable 50 in tripod. It collapses down to 16 in, but there isn't any space for it when I use the insert for my camera materials.

Comments about Billingham Hadley Shoulder Bag, Large:
It carries all my Canon SLR and lenses while on tour plus space for accesories and paper work. The bag is well-made and protects everything in it from inclement weather. This is my fourth Hadley Large bag in more than 20 years. Every time I evaluated alternatives, I still came back to the Hadley Large.
