Think Tank Photo has launched a new shoulder bag series called the Retrospective. It was given that name to honor the great photographers of the past, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, who made history while having their gear slung over their shoulders in beaten canvas bags.
While the outside of the bags look intentionally innocuous, the insides house extremely sophisticated designs specifically created to help field photographers carry their gear safely and access it quickly. The Retrospectives come in two basic models, the Shoulder Bag and the Lens Changer. There are three Retrospective Soft-sided Camera Shoulder Bags, the Retrospective 10, Retrospective 20, Retrospective 30 and two Retrospective Soft-sided Lens Changer Shoulder Bags, the Retrospective Lens Changer 2 and the Retrospective Lens Changer 3.

- Carry a pro size DSLR with zoom lens attached
