Think Tank Photo to Release New Bag for DSLR, Micro Four Thirds and Rangefinder Cameras

Santa Rosa, Calif. – Think Tank Photo announces that in May it will release the Retrospective® 5, a soft-sided shoulder bag designed for DSLR, Micro Four Thirds, and rangefinder camera equipment.  Like the other bags in Think Tank’s Retrospective series, the Retrospective 5 was created as an homage to classic photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank.

Designed for the professional photographer who wants to remain inconspicuous in any situation, its ”old-school” look mixes with “new-school” features giving tribute to the days when bags were visually simple but highly functional.  It is available in two colors, black and Pinestone.

The Retrospective 5 easily accommodates a standard size DSLR and two lenses.  This shoulder bag’s compact size also makes it convenient for carrying a Micro Four Thirds or rangefinder camera gear.

The Micro Four Thirds system (MFT) is a standard created by Olympus and Panasonic for mirrorless interchangeable lens digital cameras and camcorders.  In one sample configuration, the Retrospective 5 can hold an Olympus PEN E-P2 camera body, a 17mm lens attached with the VF-1 optical viewfinder, a 14-42 mm lens, 40-150 mm lens, a FL-14 Flash, a SEMA-1 External microphone adapter set, a charger, cable and extra battery, and the VF-2 Electronic viewfinder.

Key features include:

•   Perfectly sized for DSLR, Micro Four Thirds, and rangefinder camera systems

•   Shoulder strap includes cushioned non-slip pad for long-term comfort

•   Sound Silencers eliminate hook-and-loop noise when opening bag

•   Zippered pockets and organizational pockets for accessories

•   Removable divider set for layout customization included

•   Convenient carrying handle for quick transport

•   Seam-sealed rain cover included

•   Business card window under the front flap for identification

•   High quality YKK zippers

•   Soft, flexible and lightweight

About the Author

Lawrence
As a weekend photographer, I found myself with limited time and limited resources in terms of expanding my photographic ability due to my career. Like many weekend photography warriors, there are only 2 hours on the weekdays and maybe 8 hours or so total on the weekend to learn and grow. These time constraints is what motivated me into creating this online photography resource. I needed a photography hub where all the information I referred to is stored in one easy to navigate online location. I see this more of my online repository of photography information gathered through time. I am very proud of the success of my blog offering of "Photographer Interview Series". You will read in-depth interviews from the photography world's famous photographers. Names like David Tejada, Nick Onken, Michael Grecco and David Bean to name a few. The interview series has also expanded to include weekend photographers and now wedding photographers with the similar goal of learning from each other. My goal is to evolve this site to be the premier go to resource for photographer interviews and equipment reviews.
