Features:
A The exterior of each Retrospective shoulder bag is purposefully simple, allowing photographers to inconspicuously blend into their shooting environment.
a All the shoulder bags in the Retrospective series are available in two colors, pinestone or black.  Pictured here are the Retrospective 20 in pinestone and the Retrospective Lens Changer 2 in black.
a The softness and flexibility of the Retrospective 10, 20, and 30 easily allows a pro size DSLR to be carried in the main compartment with a lens attached, facing downward.  The Retrospective 20 is pictured here, containing (left to right):  1.4x TC, 100 f2.8 Macro, 40D with battery grip attached, 17-40 f4 with hood in position, 5D with battery grip and 24-70 f2.8 attached, and a 70-200 f2.8.
a The Retrospective 30 can fit some telephoto zoom lenses attached to a DSLR, facing sideways in the bag.  Pictured here (clockwise from top left):  Canon 430ex flash, 100mm f2.8 Macro, 5D with battery grip attached, 100-400 IS attached to a 5D Mark II with battery grip, and a 24-70 f2.8.
a Within the Retrospective 10, 20, and 30's main compartment, are two collapsible nylon pockets (one on each side).  These pockets are tall enough to fit most flash units or other accessories.  A hook-and-loop strap can be used to secure the contents or it can be tucked into the pocket for quicker access.
a The expandable pocket(s) on the front of the Retrospective 10, 20, and 30 can be used to carry a spare pro size DSLR body or other photo gear.  A small hook-and-loop flap folds over the top of the pocket to secure its contents.  The Retrospective 30 (pictured) features two expandable pockets, while the Retrospective 10 and 20 have only one expandable pocket on the front of the bags.
a The Retrospective 10, 20 and 30 all have an organizer pocket inside the main compartment.  It gives photographers enough space for small, but significant, accessories necessary for a successful shoot.
a The "sound silencers" underneath the main flap are used to suppress the loud tearing sound hook-and-loop makes while opening and closing the bag.  Simply release the sound silencer panels and cover the hook-and-loop strips to prevent the hook-and-loop from contacting.  A clear business card pocket, for identification and spare cards, is also located under the main flap.
A Hook-and-loop panels securely fastens the main flap down, keeping valuable photo equipment hidden from view.
a A wide storage pocket is located on the back of the Retrospective 10, 20, and 30.  This pocket can be used to carry magazines, newspapers, or other paperwork, depending on the size of the bag.
a Webbing loops on both sides of the Retrospective 10, 20, and 30 can be used to carry some smaller pouches on the bag.  Alternatively, a carabiner (not included) can be used to quickly clip accessories to the the sides of the bag as well.
a Side pockets on both sides of the Retrospective 10, 20, and 30 can be used to carry smaller water bottles and will even fit some shoe-mounted strobe units.
a A fully adjustable, canvas strap is integrated into each Retrospective bag.  For extra comfort, a breathable cushioned pad slides along the strap for optimum positioning.  Sections of non-slip material on the pad helps keep the entire strap on your shoulder.
A The Retrospective 10, 20, and 30 each have a removable carrying handle for convenience.
a The seam-sealed rain cover included with the Retrospective 10, 20, and 30 was specially designed to keep the carrying handle and integrated shoulder strap outside the rain cover without compromising protection from the elements.

Absolutely amazing! You can feel the quality and security!

I fell in love with this bag once I saw it displayed here on thinkTANK's website; once I received it in the mail, I literally jumped for joy! The quality is definitely there! I must say that I am 4'11" (short, I know) and this bag looks a tad bit big on me; I suggest that if you are around my height, that you get the Retrospective 20; but, if you have a growing collection, this bag is definitely worth the price and the wait (by "wait", I mean shipping).

On Monday May 17th I received my Retrospective 30 & Retrospective LC2 and was immediately impressed with the build quality but decided not to write this review until I had it out in the field. I loaded the 30 with the following items Nikon D700 with MB-D10 Battery Pack and Nikon 24-70 2.8 lens mounted with shade reversed, SB-800 in flash pouch, Nikon 14-24 2.8, Nikon AF-S Micro 105 2.8G, Nikon 50mm 1.4G, Nikon 70-300 VR (3) extra batteries Pixel pocket rocket and other small accessories and all without the need to use the front pockets and went on my way. Conclusion: This bag does not appear large but is capable of carrying more equipment then most will ever need with style, protection, security and comfort. It also offers one more feature that sets it apart from all other stealth shoulder bags I have tried, it's easy to work out of. I own an embarrassing amount of Think Tank products but for my shoulder bags in the past I stayed with Domke & Billingham, "Times they are a changin"

Very impressive bag! A must have in ur arsenal.

Recommed anything from TT, always impressive and this bag will not disappoint. Rugged and versatile, it will not disappoint. I have a D700 and the holy trinity, plus a macro 105 that I will be using as my working bag for weddings and events. The bag holds all of this equipment with ease and still has room for more.

Wow! Super bag. Superb craftmanship. Help, this isn't a camera bag...hehe. My new shootout/walk-around bag. I loaded(main compartment) it up with my Sony A550 with battery pack/grip and Sony 70-400G mounted, Sony 70-200 G, Sony 24-70 CZ, Sony HVLF-58AM and various stuff and still, has ample space/room. Unbelievable! It's well worth the expense. Highly recommended!

This makes my 8th Think Tank product - excellent stuff. I freelance in the field & appreciate the build & design quality of all your products. I carry a D3S w/24-70 2.8 attached, D300s w/MB-10 body, 14-24 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 50 1.4. Can't wait to see what you come up with next !!

We’ve gone through many bags looking for the most comfortable, versatile, and stylish - and the Retrospective 30 is the total package! We shoot lots of high paced destination and local weddings so this bag is perfect for tossing over the shoulder and running with all your gear. The silent feature is a must for any ceremony coverage. While the simple small strap is interestingly one of my favorite features for making quick movements. Not to forget about its stylish looks and roomy compartments. I’m sitting here looking at a total of 6 (expensive) bags we’ve tried over the years and this one is as close to perfect as I can imagine. Cheers to you Think Tank, for helping to makeing my day more enjoyable!

Best shooting bag I've owned. Easily holds two my two Canon 5D Mk2's, five lenses, two big flashes, and room for plenty of extras. I'm selling my other bags. I got this for shooting and the Urban Disguise for travel & shooting on the road. Both are great bags and they cover ALL the bases.
