Looking for a new, small bag for my R2A + 2 lenses. I was looking at a Billingham Hadley Digital but was wondering if there's anything else (cheaper?) people recommend. Maybe something from Domke?

I really like an extra-long strap because I am quite tall and have a long torso. I'm not sure how long the strap is on the Hadley.

I have an old Lowepro bag that I use now but it's literally falling apart. I have a large (read: HUGE!) Crumpler bag that carries all my SLR gear but I think I want something more "classic", not as "modern"

Thanks in advance.
 
I bought a bag from ebay seller "explore339" Look up his site on ebay. $78 and $18 shipping from Hong Kong, not really cheap but not outrageous either. Perfect size for my M6 and 3 lenses, with a bit more room for a couple of hoods or a flash. Very good quality. He's also an excellent communicator and very fast shipper which usually hasn't been the case for me when dealing with such an international distance. He also sells some great cases and straps that fit Leicas. No connection to him other than as a customer (twice).
 
Do you have a specific favorite Domke for a single-body setup, Nh3? I mention Domke and Billingham because I can get a discount on these bags from working part-time to help out my local camera store.
 
I posted these photos a while ago. This bag was originally intended for carrying film. It also
has a waterproof cover stowed in a compartment on the bottom.

Ooh, that's decent. I'll have to look into that. I'm assuming the price is reasonable?

I'm just a little disappointed that my current Lowepro bag is falling apart.
 
I think I paid $30 or less at a local camera store. You can use the strap of your choice (none in cluded with the bag). I am not sure if Lowepro is still making this bag.
 
domke 3xa (iirc) for a nice tight fit or the 5xb for a bit more room.

there is a bag thread around here somewhere with pics.

My favorite is F6 because its small and very discreet, it doesn't look like a camera bag and at the same time it can fit a lot more gear than its apparent from outside.

biomed, what's the name or serial of that Lowepro bag under which one could find it ?

I think it is something like AW120. We just moved and I have not unpacked all my photo gear. I know I posted information about the bag on another thread. I will look for the post.

I'm really leaning towards the Domke F-5xb. The only thing I don't like about it is the velcro to get in the main compartment but from the images I've seen online the bag looks like it's the perfect size.
