I have been most satisfied with my Hadley Pro canvas bag ever since (April '18) I bought one off of eBay for peanuts. Extremely comfortable around body and so on. There are times when I wish it had more room but at the same time I already think the bag is way too heavy if I fill its available volume with camera gear, so I don't really wish for more room either.
Now I hear there's a new revised version. "Hadley Pro 2020". I have no real reason to upgrade, only minor ones.
Cameras come and go all the time. Lenses stay for a little longer. Camera bags are forever.

- The bag is stupendously fine quality and lightweight and all that. I would very much like to show the company my support and buy directly from them at some point.
- This current bag sure has all the rainproofing that I want, but as is the case with used bags can I be super sure it's not cracked or anything under the stitching?
- The new design allows hanging some items by the outer loops. For example, my tiny telescope umbrella doesn't fit inside the bag but could hang outside.
- The warm and fuzzy feeling of having something real usable for little money goes away. As a Leica shooter this shouldn't matter much to me.
- Breaking in the new bag can always be slightly frustrating.
- If I buy new, there's a massive selection of colors to choose from. I could never settle for one!
