Retrospective® Backpack 15

The Retrospective® Backpack 15 I recently purchased is one of the most comfortable camera backpacks I’ve every owned. All the gear is easily accessible and well protected. Thank you ThinkTank, you really outdid yourself this time.

Just The Right Fit..

Excellent quality like my other ThinkTank bags. Perfect fit. I love that I can easily convert this backpack for day trips or for travel when I don't need my camera. When going on assignments or photoshoots i use this backpack in conjunction with my Airport Advantage Rolling Bag. Like the security features as well. Overall you can't go wrong with this bag period!

Retrospective 15

A sturdy and quality made bag that fits my mirrorless setup that includes a 100-400 lens. My only wish as a petite female, was that it was a bit lighter in weight.

Great bag!

Started doing research on camera travel bags as I’ve been doing a lot of traveling this year. Came across this bag and it both satisfied me aesthetically and practically! Super well made - would buy again
