Retrospective V2.0 Camera Shoulder Bag Series

The Retrospective V2.0 series shoulder bags retain that classic look but include many innovative new features. Keeping the soft, form-fitting design, they are lighter than the original. For greater security, we added 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. We even improved our “Sound Silencer” technology to help you work quietly.

Think Tank just keep knocking it right out of the park. Great work guys. Love your products and your approach to making gear accessible while still being protected. Outstanding 👍👍

Great to see you continually improving your already excellent products. I started Full Frame with my first bag being the Urban Disguise 70 Pro V2.0 and also a Citywalker 20 both of which I still have. Since also moving to Fuji mirrorless I've added the Urban Approach 5, Trifecta 8 and simply the best of them all the Urban Approach 15, that bag can be configured to fit a staggering amount of gear yet be perfectly balanced, still lightweight for airport carry on and padded for comfort, absolutely made for the fuji system like no other bag I've come across. My weekend/few day trip clothes travel bag has always been the original Streetwalker Pro Hard Drive with the dividers ripped out, indestructable. Never had a Retrospective but good luck with the new line and keep producing these fantastic products you are one of my favourite quality companies.

Love this bag. The water pouch is great. But you have to watch out with that handle pass through. I put my passport in there and my phone, thinking I was putting them away in the pocket. Luckily I noticed before they fell out and were lost!

I always liked these bags

[@philbraithwaite1316]

Got the Retrospective 10 (first gen) and very pleased with it, a superb product!

[@ThinkTankPhoto]

Thanks, Phil!

I wish you made a 24-26 litre backpack in this line. Your canvas bags are so much better. I have a Retrospective and it’s my favourite bag by a mile.

[@ThinkTankPhoto]

A bigger version of the 15L, I shall pass that feedback along! Cheers! - www.thinktankphoto.com/collections/backpacks/products/retrospective-backpack-15

[@thethirdman225]

@@ThinkTankPhoto Yes, thanks, I’ve seen it. What I need is a bag that can carry a body with a 200-600 and another with a 70-200. Both bodies have grips on them and there would be one or two other smaller lenses, like an 85 and a 20. It needs to be a top loader. The best think about the Retrospective is the feel of the brushed canvas. So much nicer than nylon and still goes the distance.

I love my Retrospective 10 V1. The V2s look like they have some good improvements. The Expandable side pocket that can also cinch down so it's flat is nice. I could even see using it for a lens instead of a water bottle. The zippered flap on top is also a good addition. If you have the flap folded over behind the bag while wearing it but need to close it up momentarily becuse it starts sprinkling or dirt is flying or you're in a crowded area for a bit folding the flap back and fourth can be a hassle. I liked the idea of all the little pockets inside but in practice they weren't that accessible when you had lenses in the bag and with stuff in them it can make it cramped for getting lenses in and out. So losing them for a lap top pocket isn''t a big deal. But the "cosmetic" grommets on the flap for no reason are ugly as is the plaid interior. They are only thing I hate about the V2 bags. What made the aesthetics of the Retrospective bags so beautiful was the unassuming simplicity. No buckles or snaps or stitched patterns or logos or just a clean good looking design that didn't' shout "gear bag" or "look how much a spent on my bag." IMO the grommets and plaid inside are a step in the wrong direction. But over all they look nice. One suggesting I have as soemone who like to use primes though is to offer internal padded dividers dividers with a plastic panel core. Like the plastic stiffeners you can get in some belts. So they are more ridged. The bag/dividers collapsing/shifting when you take lenses out can make it hard to get them back in one handed. Having the panels more ridged would help the bag keep it's shape but still allow it to flex to conform to your hip and would help keep the sections for the lenses open to get them back into when switching between them. I would pay $100+ for a set of dividers like this.

Hey, Josh, we certainly appreciate the feedback - thanks! - Simon

Perhaps a little strange to start my reply to your video, but I just received the Peak Design 5l and 10l slingbags. I was looking for a small bag for a day in the city, the zoo or something like that and not having to carry my backpack. They both look good, but the 5l is just too small, even if II just take my Sony A7III with the 70-300 lens attached. And this lens is not as big as it sounds. Apart from that, I compared them with my old Retrospective 20 and this is a real winner. Although bigger it just feels so much better carrying my good old Retrospective. And if fact, it looks better too. So, the Peak Design bags Will be returned and definately intend to use my ThinkTank a lot more this year! By the way, love the new features on the new versions. Regards from the Netherlands.

I wish it had a removable shoulder strap. I have a V1 of the tall one but recently bought a competitor brand for the removable strap.

[@karafuru7666]

I just got this bag today and I think it's very nice bag. The joints and seams where things are stitched feel strongly connected. The materials feel good and there is even care taken on the little things like the leathery zipper pulleys. I hope it can handle long-term abuse and see many different things with me. Contrary to another opinion here, I like the grommets because you can attached accessories ranging from utility to fashionable. It fits an A7II+70-200F2.8GM attached in the vertical direction with the hood reversed, although, it is a bit snug. My only gripe is the design of the twin pockets. Why does the Velcro cover the zippered pocket? Makes things somewhat fiddly if you get things from it. Hope you can offer some more colors in the future!

[@eightbitsify]

Nooo, why the holes on the flap. :( can't find previous version of retrospective 5 anywhere :(

[@SimonPollock]

eightbitsify we have none left I’m afraid. There are 6 remaining black Retrospective 6 (ver. 1) you would need to search around in retail shops, sorry.

[@bigwavebooth]

@eightbitsify... I just bought one Retrospective 5 (v1) on eBay that is basically 100% brand new. I didn't realize that it wasn't v2.0 so I'll be placing it back up on eBay. Contact me to let me know you're interest.

[@TheIkaika777]

The holes are great for carrying a small tripod using the Think Tank Red Whips. 👍🏻

[@bamsemh1]

I wish you took the 5. I have canon 80d and Tamron 16-300mm lens always mounted. Will the camera fit house up and lens down? Or do I need to have the camera sideways in the bag? The 7 is a bit too big. So I'm looking for the 5. And does it also have the rain cover, as the bigger versions?

[@foxtrotgolf5698]

How’s the added zipper feature. Will this scratch the lens and camera in and out of the bag?

[@sunilgavaskarparthasarathy3665]

How to carry tripod

[@katasiapa]

If i lost the rain cover, where can i buy another? I can't find it in website.

[@ThinkTankPhoto]

Just contact our Customer Service team at [e-mail] and they'll set you up.

I miss the denim blues

[@philbraithwaite1316]

Still got mine.

[@jeffreymliss]

You showed all the bells and whistles of the 30, but never touched on the main compartment, which holds the camera bodies and lenses. :(

[@ThinkTankPhoto]

Hi Jeff, it was more of a quick update video, so yes, a little light on details. All of the internal measurements and photos of the interiors are on our website, or drop customer service a note via our website if you have any specific questions, thanks

[@Hansen2705]
