The Retrospective series is comprised of four shoulder bags and two lens changer bags. Created for the professional photographer that wants to blend in with the crowd and remain inconspicuous in any situation.

Features:

	The exterior of each Retrospective shoulder bag is purposefully simple, allowing photographers to inconspicuously blend into their shooting environment.
	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.
	The Retrospective Lens Changer 2 has two separated lens compartments for rapid access and easier storage. Both compartments can accommodate a 70-200 f2.8 with its lens hood reversed. Shown here (left to right) is a 24-70 f2.8 with hood in position and a 70-200 f2.8 with hood reversed.
	Opening the zippered pocket on the back of the Retrospective Lens Changer 2 and Retrospective Lens Changer 3 (shown) reveals a built-in organizer for pens, spare batteries, memory cards and other sundries.
	A small accessory pocket with a hook-and-loop enclosure is located on the front of one of the lens compartments. This a convenient place for lens caps, a cleaning cloth, or a Pixel Pocket Rocket memory card wallet.
	A carrying handle is conveniently placed at the top of the Retrospective Lens Changer 2 and Retrospective Lens Changer 3 so you can easily grab the bag when you're ready to go.
	The seam-sealed rain cover for the Retrospective Lens Changer 2 and Retrospective Lens Changer 3 are specially designed to keep the integrated shoulder strap exposed while protecting your valuable photo gear from the elements.
	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.
	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.
	Hook-and-loop panels securely fastens the main flap down, keeping valuable photo equipment hidden from view. (Retrospective 30 is shown here)

Overall Product Rating:

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"

Great! Great! Great! Even though was specifically just meant for lenses, I try to use it whenever I can. I bring it to Philly with me; with my camera in one hand, pop another lens in one pouch, put my camcorder in the other. It's perfect and very fashionable! Kudos to this bag. . .

I love the 2 lens changer! It makes my work very easy. Changing from tele to wideangle is now a peace of cake. And I don't lose the lenscaps anymore thanks to the special designed little pouch. Thanks a lot Think Thank people!
