I'm not convinced any of the K-5's advantages will make a difference for wedding photography, apart from the battery life which will probably mean you want to look at getting 3 or 4 spare batteries instead of 1 of 2.
The K-30 also takes the same AA battery holder as the K-r so in an absolute emergency (not recommended at weddings) you can get a set of four AA's just about anywhere.

Thanks again. That's helpful too as I'm moving from a Think Tank holster which held the camera face down and prefer that for ease of access.

Hi Pa. Can't help with the first question - not something I've looked at yet or ever used before (upgraded from a K-r). I could look, but wouldn't want to give you the wrong answer and will leave it to someone more experienced.

As for 2. Not as noisy as the K-r, but louder than the K-5. If I was seriously into wildlife photography it would be an issue I think.

Thanks. Billingham have just rung back and are able to do a set of dividers for me. It makes the bag a bit more expensive than I hoped, but still o.k. Appreciate you taking the trouble to help.

Thanks again John

The second photo helps. It looks like one of the Superflex inserts in the bottom so I know they will fit. I've just rung Billingham and they are ringing back shortly to see if they can supply the dividers only. They said the whole replacement insert has 2 vertical and 2 horizontal dividers - is that what you had originally? Are the vertical ones the full height of the insert?

Would this be a decent upgrade from my aging K10, and would my third party lenses, flashgun and remote work OK with it?
A very good upgrade from a K10d. Yes to the lenses, not sure about the flashgun and probably no to the remote, but I'm sure others will chip in.

Thanks John

I'm happy with the bag, just doesn't have any dividers. I can return it to the seller for a refund, but just wanted to see if there was an alternative. I have the green insert, just nothing to divide the equipment. If I buy a new complete insert I won't be far off the price of a new bag anyway. I can't find anywhere that sells the dividers on their own, just the whole thing.

How many dividers came with the Hadley Pro? Have you got more equipment under the visible stuff? The Hadley Large is pretty deep, though the Pro seems more or less the same. If I put a camera in face down with most lenses it would be halfway down the bag. I was hoping I could have two layers of equipment, if that makes sense.

Just bought a used Hadley Large for when I don't want to carry everything. Arrived in great condition, but it's missing all the dividers so useless as a camera bag. I've contacted the seller, but does anyone who has one of these use Superflex inserts with these bags?

I can't find the dividers separately to buy anywhere, just the whole insert at around £44 delivered. At that price I may as well have bought a new bag, almost.

Assuming I get this sorted out and keep the bag, what's the best way of creating more compartments in these bags in addition to the inserts supplied (or not)

Thanks

Well done Shaun.

I just had a listen to the album preview - reminds me quite a bit of the early 20th century songs of Peter Warlock, whose great love, who he eventually married and who was the mother of his only child, was a girl called Minnie Lucy Channing, who preferred to be called by her nickname, which was 'Puma'

Wouldn't help - the noise in those things has to be heard to be believed. I took my collection of obscure Norse metal the second time and still couldn't hear anything but the scanner.
Got any Di Derre in that collection?
No - my tastes are a bit darker than that - more viking/folk/black metal - Finntroll, Turisas, Ensiferum, Dimmu Borgir, Lumsk, Kivimetsän Druidi, Tyr that sort of thing
