Think Tank Photo Adds Black Retrospective Bag
10 September 2019
Think Tank Photo has added a black version of its Retrospective 2.0 series shoulder bags. The new color option joins the existing Pinestone (green) option.
"The Retrospective V2.0 Shoulder Bag Series is one of our most popular lines and we're proud to now offer it in black," said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank CEO and Lead Designer. "The bag's timeless, stylish look, combined with intuitive gear access and security, makes the Retrospective V2.0 line a central part of the Think Tank product line."
Available in five sizes: (5, 7, 10, 20, 30), the series features a customizable divider system with extra dividers to create compartments for small items. There's a zippered pocket for items like batteries or memory cards and a wide back pocket with extra room when you need it. With the included seam-sealed rain cover and zippered top flap for added security, your gear is protected from both weather and theft.
We reviewed the Retrospective 2.0 Series Bags earlier this year noting, "Their intelligent design and sturdy build earn them both four photo corners from us."
The Retrospective V2.0 Shoulder Bag Series is Back in Black
SANTA ROSA, Calif. -- The Retrospective V2.0 shoulder bag series from Think Tank Photo is back in a brand new color: Black! Retaining that classic "retro" minimalist look, the shoulder bags also include many innovative new features. Keeping the soft, form-fitting design, the V2.0 bags are lighter than the original Retrospective line.
For greater security, Think Tank 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. The improved "Sound Silencer" technology on the Velcro closures helps you work quietly. A webbing rail accommodates Think Tank modular pieces or carabineers and the adjustable shoulder strap features a cushioned, non-slip pad.
Available in five sizes: (5, 7, 10, 20, 30), the line features a completely customizable divider system and includes extra dividers to further organize compartments for smaller lenses or equipment. There's a zippered pocket for valuables and small items such as batteries or memory cards and a wide back pocket gives you extra room when you need it. And with the included seam-sealed rain cover and zippered top flap for added security, you can be confident your gear is protected from both weather and theft.
