Billingham Hadley One £265

At 37 x 28 x 14cm, the Hadley One is a slightly larger version of Billingham’s best-selling Hadley Pro. Its standout feature is a 13in laptop slot behind the main compartment.

It’s a practically sized bag without being unwieldy, although you only get a half-width padded insert included. This will swallow a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, plus an ungripped full-frame body with attached 50mm lens. The remaining space in the main compartment is great for personal effects, or you can add an optional second camera insert. Out front are two large pockets, perfect for keeping lenses reachable during a shoot.
