I think you might have that reversed, it looks like the F-802 (15.5L x 
4W x 12"D) is bigger than the F-803 (13L x 4W x 9"D).

Thanks for the link to Robert White's site. I had seen his site before 
but forgotten about it. One of the major reasons I wasn't looking at 
Billingham bags was due to the price. His prices seem much more 
reasonable than what I can get in Canada or the US.

My only question regarding the Hadley Pro is how much gear can you fit 
in it? Billingham's site doesn't really give a good indication of how 
much equipment will fit in the insert and the only picture shows only 3 
vertical sections. Are further divisions possible? Do you have to stack 
lenses or can everything be on 1 level?
