Feeler: Billingham Hadley Pro Package & ONA Union Street (Custom Adjusted)...Bags!
Hi All,
Very short on time this morning, so if there is interest (not sure I really want to part with them), I'll post some pictures hopefully in next 24 hrs but most know exactly what these products look like.
1. The first item is the Billingham Hadley Pro Shoulder Bag in a package deal. It is very lightly used almost exclusively indoors at meetings where I had to shoot quietly with a Leica rangefinder and a couple of lenses. Show very little signs of use throughout. It's Khaki with tan leather trim. I have added two separate sale items to it. The first is the matching Billingham shoulder pad and the second is the ever most useful matching color Billingham "Avea" side pouch for additional lenses, cell phone etc.
These items at B&H cost the following:
a) Billingham Hadley Pro $282.00
b) Matching Sp15 Shoulder Pad $38.00
c) Matching Avea Side Pouch $ 75.00
B&H Price total is $ 395.00 . My Price is $295.00 + shipping . I'll take care of paypal fees. Details can be found for each on B&H website.
A full size ipad or small thin laptop can easily fit behind the removable insert. (for those interested in that info). Great bag for rangefinder system or small DSLR set-up!

The second item is a basically un-used (custom modified) current ONA Union Street Bag in Smoke Gray color. Simply this messenger style camera/shoulder bag is beautiful and why it's become such an incredibly popular bag since it's introduction recently.
Here is the B&H link to the bag....but I've made a popular modification which some others have, resulting in improved functionality. The bag so far has perfect 5 star reviews by users posted on B&H and rave reviews everywhere.

The modification is a simple one. As well designed as this bag is, the one area that needed improvement was the underside of the shoulder pad. Unlike the one for Billingham's bags where the underside is a very "grippy" material for those that wear their bags "off the shoulder"...the ONA was extremely slippery. The modification is simply having a pro shoe repair place undo a line of stitching on the sliding non-removable shoulder pad in order to slip it out (remove it), and then purchase and snap on a brand new perfectly matching Billingham chocolate leather one that grips extremely well. The original ONA shoulder pad will still come with the bag and for those that for whatever reason want to use the original one, can simply have a shoe repair place back the line of simple stitches with their sewing machine.
B&H price is $289.00 (with standard ONA shoulder pad)...my price would be $219.00 plus shipping including both the Billingham grippy leather Shoulder pad as well as the ONA shoulder pad as described (above). I'll take care of Paypal fees.
Bag has separate laptop slot and details on this capability can be found on B&H or ONA website. Again another great shoulder bag for a rangefinder system or small DSLR set-up.

Reason for selling is both bags is not only do I have far too many bags but primarily due to the size of the equipment I primarily use daily requires substantially larger bags (and of a different type).
Since I'm on my small cell phone, it's easier if you send an e-mail instead of a PM to IRGdme "at" AOL "dot" Com. Responding to PM's will be delayed. Thanks!
