Domke F-5XA Camera Bag Review:

There are definitely days when we need to carry a lot of gear but for the days that we can carry just the essentials, there are a lot smaller cameras bags to choose from to help us out.  One of these bags is the Domke F-5XA.  This is a bag that I’ve actually wanted to review for a long time because it’s not only a really nice size for when you don’t need to bring a lot of gear with you, appearance wise, it’s a nice, stealthy looking bag.  At around $60, it’s also relatively easy on the wallet.  Let’s take a closer look.

Billingham Hadley One Camera Bag Review

Billingham Hadley One Camera Bag Review:

I consider the Billingham Hadley Pro a classic.  Even though the basic design has been around for what feels like forever, it’s still one of the most popular bags that Billingham produces.  It’s a great fit for a broad range of photographers.  It’s one of the most well-manufactured bags out there, it offers superior protection against the elements, and it’s extremely versatile in terms of what kind of a camera system it is able to fit.  But let’s say you need something a little larger but at the same time, you love the overall design of the Hadley Pro.  Maybe you want some space for a laptop.  It wouldn’t hurt if you could also fit a tablet as well.  Where do you turn to?  Well, that’s where the new Hadley One comes into play, and thanks to Billingham, I was able to get one in to review.

Artisan & Artist ACAM-295 Camera Wrist Strap Review:

A wrist strap is definitely a great accessory for those who always have their camera in hand ready to shoot.  It’s definitely less cumbersome than wrapping a long neck strap around one’s wrist.  The good news is that there are plenty of them on the market these days.  There are also many different types of materials to choose from, such as, leather or even cords.  Cloth type versions are also available, such as, the Artisan & Artist ACAM-295, which I recently received in to review.  Here are my thoughts on this wrist strap.

Billingham Hadley One Camera Bag First Look!

Billingham Hadley One Camera Bag First Look!:

For those who frequent my site, you probably know I’m a huge fan of Billingham bags.  I absolutely love their bags, and I’ve been using them for many, MANY years.  So, when I received a message from Billingham asking me if I wanted to review the new Hadley One, considering I don’t even think the bag is sold in the US yet, and therefore, I probably wouldn’t be able to get my hands on one for a while, I jumped at the chance.  I actually received it today, and I just wanted to write up a quick post about it, and to show all of you some pictures of it.  Better pictures will follow but right now, I want to make my bus :).  I’ll write up a more detailed “first impressions” post soon, and of course, I’ll be writing up a full, hands on review as well.
