## Description

Product Description

Review: The perfect messenger bag - I've been looking for a messenger bag that fit my needs for a long time. In short, I've wanted a bag that would carry my entire travel kit, while accommodating my work laptop (14" Macbook Pro) on work trips with a generic water bottle holder. This is the only one I found that was not too big, but carried everything I needed. (1 mirrorless camera, 2 lenses). Even after all of this, it still has room to spare for misc accessories. Best thing? This will count as a personal item, allowing me to carry on a cabin suitcase along with it! One feature that was not mentioned is that the waterbottle pocket also acts as slot to carry 1 additional lens - there is an internal padded flap that can be dropped down to give the bottom of the pocket extra padding. Think Tank has really thought this one through - and is on it's second revision for good reason. Would recommend this for anyone looking for a compact messenger
Review: Delivers what its made for - Great sling bag to carry Camera, 3or4 Lenses, Camera Batteries, Charger etc. I'm using it to carry my Canon R6 body, RF 50mm prime, RF 16mm prime, RF 100-400mm zoom along with 2x Batteries, Charger with cable, portable SSD drive and SD cards of course.

## Features

- Soft and form-fitting with minimalist outer appearance

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect messenger bag
*by R***V on 15 June 2025*

I've been looking for a messenger bag that fit my needs for a long time. In short, I've wanted a bag that would carry my entire travel kit, while accommodating my work laptop (14" Macbook Pro) on work trips with a generic water bottle holder. This is the only one I found that was not too big, but carried everything I needed. (1 mirrorless camera, 2 lenses). Even after all of this, it still has room to spare for misc accessories. Best thing? This will count as a personal item, allowing me to carry on a cabin suitcase along with it! One feature that was not mentioned is that the waterbottle pocket also acts as slot to carry 1 additional lens - there is an internal padded flap that can be dropped down to give the bottom of the pocket extra padding. Think Tank has really thought this one through - and is on it's second revision for good reason. Would recommend this for anyone looking for a compact messenger

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delivers what its made for
*by M***I on 25 October 2022*

Great sling bag to carry Camera, 3or4 Lenses, Camera Batteries, Charger etc. I'm using it to carry my Canon R6 body, RF 50mm prime, RF 16mm prime, RF 100-400mm zoom along with 2x Batteries, Charger with cable, portable SSD drive and SD cards of course.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgraded from Retrospective 10 v1
*by C***S on 15 March 2026*

I needed a camera shoulder bag that would fit an iPad air 13 w/ case, and my Retrospectice 10 v1 would not. The air fits in the laptop pocket , but it does stick up slightly. This bag is able to fit a Canon R6/R5 with a RF 70-200 2.8 IS (non Z) lens attached, with plenty of room to zip up the security flap. The upgrades of the V2 vs V1 are solid. There are extra internal pockets, external water bottle holder, luggage pass through and the security flap, which can be tucked into a pocket if it is not needed. The strap material appears to be different. The V1 had a seatbelt feel and the V2 has a more braided texture. The shoulder pad also seems to be smaller, but this may be due to the 10 vs the 7. Overall, I have been using the Retro 10 v1 for years and it has been my favorite shoulder/ sling bag. As of this writing, it appears that the Retro 7 v2 could take its place. Though I will be keeping the 10, as it will allow me to carry a pro sized body and/ or multiple bodies, the 7 is a perfect everyday grab and go bag for ipad and a minimal kit
