The ThinkTank Retrospective 30 Shoulder Bag is a discreet and simple bag designed for the photographer whocarries a system such as one pro DSLR with a 70-200mm f/2.8zoom attached to the camera. And, with its wider size, the camera andlens combo can be stored sideways within the bag. Or, it can hold two pro DSLRs in its two front expandable pockets and 2-4 lenses in the maincompartment. The difference between the Retrospective 30 and thesmaller 10 and 20 models of the same bag are the 30''s two frontexpandable pockets. The smaller versions only have one. However, theinterior dividers are still customizable to accommodate the gear youcarry on any given day.
The large front flap covers the entirebag and prevents anyone from seeing what''s inside. The hook & loop closure is unique with its Sound Silencer system that eliminate thetearing sound normally encountered when you open a camera bag. This isespecially valuable when you are shooting in quiet venues like courts,wedding services or chess matches. There''s also a dual cross buckle onthe front flap for added security. The inside of the bag contains anorganizer pocket that is perfect for a note pad, mic, or small pack oftissues. Two collapsible nylon pockets are inside and are designed to hold a flash or other similar sized accessory.
As mentioned,outside, two expandable pockets are large enough for two pro sized DSLRbodies. The back of bag has a wide storage pocket that is made to holdcollateral material like paperwork, maps or a note pad. Additionalwebbing loops are found outside to hold some small Modular, Skin orMultimedia pouches. Or, you can attach a carabiner to it for quickaccess items like keys. Two side pockets will hold small water bottles or even some small shoe-mount strobe lights. Under the main flap, youhave a business card holder.
The carry handle is removable andthe shoulder strap contains some non-slip material to keep the bagstable while moving. There''s also a breathable cushioned pad along thestrap to aid in positioning. For complete protection, there''s a neatrain cover that can be rapidly deployed when the weather turns sour. Thecover has been configured to allow the handle and strap to extend but not interfere with the security of your gear. The Retrospective isbacked by Think Tank''s lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
