Does anyone own one of these yet?

Was wondering what you think of it.

I am down to two bags, that alone is a miracle. Both are pacsafe camsafe bags, the 100 and the 200 there great bags but I got a itch to scratch on the retrospective 5 bag so tell me your thoughts on the bag.

 

Cheers Jan

I do.

I don't use it for Leica gear.

 

It is a bit cluttered on the inside with numerous pockets.

A couple of dividers would be in order instead of all the narrow and shallow pockets.

Other than that a well made item. Velcro only to hold the flap down.

I can fit an M with a short lens attached and 2-4 additional lenses depending on size, a table top tripod, a few rolls of film (or a charger if I had an M9), a notepad, some filters, etc....it's quite comfortable and seems very durable. I'd say it's worth checking out.

Agreed although I prefer the BBE.

I just bought one and don't have extensive experience with it yet but I have an M9 with Zeiss ZM35 & shade installed in the center f the bag, a Zeiss ZM50 with caps and a Voigtlander Heliar 75/1.8 with caps & hood on each end of the bag using the supplied dividers not the buily in little pockets. In the front pocket I have an SF24D, (2) extra batteries, lens cleaning cloth and (2) extra SD cards in cases. In the pocket located within the bags interior I have the rain cover.

 

Nice little bag, not overly cramped IMHO and doesn't scream camera bag...

I have a Retrospective 5 and it is a nice little bag. Just big enough for a camera and two extra lenses (I don't like stacking lenses, too slow to get at them). It isn't what I would call a 'day bag' where I think you need a bit more space for other things, but the front pocket will expand to take a fair amount of stuff. As with all Think Tank bags build quality is second to none and it is very comfortable to carry.
