Having discovered the virtues of thinkTank products, mostly camera bags, I remember discussing them with a friend of mine last year and recommending them to him. In particular, I mentioned the Retrospective 20 model because of its great design, strong build, good workmanship, comfortable shoulder strap, and most importantly, the fact that it doesn’t scream “bag full of expensive gear, come and rob me!”.

Well, long story short, my friend went off and bought a Retrospective 20 and was delighted with his purchase. He was able to fit plenty gear in it yet was able to carry it around comfortably in such a nondescript way – the perfect shoulder bag.

Fast-forward to a few days ago and my friend is out one evening looking for a good sunset shot. He decided to keep the gear in the bag until he needed it. So he’s walking along with his camera in the bag and tripod over his shoulder when he met a man “who asked me if I had caught any fish? I told him that the salmon were scarce!”

Proof that the Retrospective doesn’t scream Camera!
