HPL posted:That only works with lenses with tripod collars. That plus I trust the tripod collar even less than I trust the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera seeing as the tripod collar can come off with one twist of a knob. I'm going to try paracord on the battery grip strap mount or something similar. I'm not too bent up about the FR-3. It's not that it's getting in my way, it's just the fact that I'd like to leave the tripod mount free. I tried, and didn't like the R-Strap. What I do now is use the soft, spongy Opteka strap, but with both ends fastened to the right side of the camera. It hangs down, with the grip hanging at my right hand, which rests on the grip where I will hold the camera. Easy to bring up to shoot, stable, and both tripod mount and, where necessary, tripod ring, free.

Bongodrums posted:I got that email a few hrs ago too! I went to Adorama and ordered it, but it's not yet in stock as a new item, so I'll get it when available. I was torn between that and the 20, which could hold the camera plus 70-200 on camera, but I rarely need that in the bag.

KickStand posted:For those of you with Think Tank retrospective bags what does the material feel like? Soft? No. Flexible, but still a bit stiff, and rough. Excellent, by the way.

DJExile posted:hahaha that's awesome. Are those big velcro panels in the 2nd shot the only way the flap holds shut, and can you block them to keep sound down? The flap isn't secured any other way, but it stays closed very well without the velcro. There's a cover for it so the velcro doesn't attach for quieter use. I have mine covered and the flap has never come open by accident.

HPL posted:Can you show how a camera with a 70-200 mounted fits in the Retrospective 10? I'm torn between the 10 and the 20 right now and lack of local merchandise to handle isn't helping. Not right now. Wife has the point and shoot with her. I rarely leave the 70-200 (mine is the 2.8 non-IS) on, though. It fits ok, though. A bit bulgy at the top.

Sevn posted:That is the bag I have had my eye on for months. I am going back to America in 1 week and I plan on finding a bag then. The only criteria I have is; low-key, able to fit a gripped D7000, and able to hold either pen+paper, or my iPad. Retrospective 10. I carry a 5DII, gripped, with 24-105 on it, and one or two lenses (or a lens and a flash), plus my kindle/kindle fire.

Remo posted:I also find it much easier to pack my D700 + grip separately from my lenses. Its just too bulky and unwieldy with a lens on. Its a minor hassle to assemble and disassemble the lens when packing/unpacking. Yes and no. If it were just for traveling, I'd not care. However, since this is also my bag I carry to go shoot, having to remove the lens is a non-starter. A, don't want to do that in the field, and B) don't want to have to add lens each time I want to stop and shoot.

Is it crazy that I'm considering the Billingham 307? I travel a lot, and my retrospective 10 is a bit cramped.

evil_bunnY posted:There's a reason you never see actual photogs carrying Billingham bags. It's not that their bad, but you're going to get tired of carrying 3+ pounds of bag on top of whatever you put in there. And that's on top of the Yeah, the price said, "think about this" and the weight said, "is this even really a practical travel bag."

torgeaux posted:Yeah, the price said, "think about this" and the weight said, "is this even really a practical travel bag." And having scads of disposable cash won the day. Billingham 307. And it is so well balanced it's phenomenal'. Holds a lot looks good and easy to access. First overseas trip Monday, so we'll see how well it travels.

My billingham bag looks good, carries a lot, and is drat easy to carry. It's really efficient in it's use of space, too. So far, I've got not a single bad thing to say about it. I suspect I hear ignorance talking.

evil_bunnY posted:Post of pic with your gripped/ungripped 5d in it? Sure. give me an hour or so. edit: This was my packout to Cuba this trip. 5DIII w/24-105 (hood on, and out); Sigma 630 DG Flash; Rokinon 14mm f/2.8; 100-400L. Passport, travel docs, Nexus 7 in back slip, memory cards, cables in front pouches. Phone, blackberry in front pouch. For travel, you would put the flap top on, and secure (not a fast access this way). For fast access as a carry bag, flap stays down, keep it zipped. It has a second set of handles inside the flap, so if you do this you can still carry it that way. I normally carry the body/lens with the body down for travel, body up for shooting.

HPL posted:If that's all you're carrying, try a shoulder bag like the Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home. It'll allow the fastest access to your gear and it's easier to maneuver through crowds with. Agree. Any of the small Domke bags work, also. Shoulder bags are much better than slings, for me.

Jimlad posted:Why's that? I'm curious because I currently use a small Sony shoulder bag with a relatively tiny amount of weight in it (a7r + lens), but after a full day out and about I start to get a dull ache in my shoulder. I love the quick access and small size though, so I've recently bought a small sling that I'm hoping will be more comfy which I'm waiting for in the mail. When I'm actively using the bag, that is, camera in and out, I carry it on one shoulder, but swap it around. When carrying for long term, not removing frequently, it can go over neck like a purse held against snatching. No real strain. Had my retrospective 10 with gripped 5Diii and 70-200 2.8 with me at Denver zoo today for four hours, no problem.

HPL posted:I would not recommend the Retrospective series because if you disable the Velcro, there's nothing else to keep the flap closed. With a bag like the Crumpler 5 Million (which I use with an A7S plus 3 or 4 extra lenses), you can disable the Velcro and still have buckles. For normal carry, my Velcro is completely concealed and the flap is so large, it is never an issue. When traveling, car/plane, I expose a small bit on one side so if the bag turns over, nothing comes out. When the Velcro is covered, I've never had the flap expose the contents at all.
