Think Tank Photo Updates Retrospective

2018.08.29

Earlier Think Tank Photo announced the second generation of their Retrospective series of photography messenger bags. The new V2.0 generation revamps 5 models with a new zippered compartment, luggage pass-through and tablet or laptop pocket. Even the silencers have been improved for even more quiet operation.

When Think Tank Photo first released the Retrospective shoulder bag series, they took the photo industry by storm. Think Tank has now upped the ante with the Retrospective V2.0. While retaining the soft, form-fitting design, they are lighter than the original. For greater security, the Retrospective shoulder bags now feature a zippered opening under the

main flap that tucks away when not in use. Each bag has a dedicated interior tablet or laptop pocket, luggage handle pass-through, and a compressible water bottle pocket. Think Tank also improved its innovative Sound Silencer closure, allowing photographers to work more quietly.

The Retrospective V2.0 shoulder bags come in five sizes:

• Retrospective 5 V2.0 Fits a standard DSLR or Mirrorless body with a 17 40mm f/4 lens, attached and a 9" tablet. Examples include a Canon 5DMIV with a 50mm f/1.8 attached, 24 70mm f/2.8, and an iPad Mini; or a Sony a7RIII with a 24 70mm f/4 attached, 16 35mm f/4, 55mm f/1.8, and an iPad Mini.
