When it comes to choosing the perfect camera bag, there isn\u2019t one unless you carry the same gear all the time. The gear that I take for each shoot changes, mostly influenced by the location, size and type of the shoot. One day I could be in a studio, another day at a wedding so the gear that I take is quite a range. Currently, I am using a Think Tank Retrospective 30<\/a> and I have had a Retrospective 10<\/a> and 20<\/a> before. The change wasn\u2019t so much of running out of bag space, but more towards how I use the bag.  <\/p>\n

[REWIND \u2013 <\/strong>Think Tank Retrospective 10 review<\/strong><\/a> | <\/strong>Think Tank Retrospective 20 review<\/strong><\/a> ]<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I got the Retrospective 10, I was looking for a small walk around bag which it suited perfectly. It was very comfortable with the strap sewed all the way around the bag. Things have changed when I got the Fujifilm X-M1 as my walk around camera, I wanted an even smaller travel camera bag<\/a> and then a larger bag that allows me to take a lot of gear when I need to.  If you check the dimension between the 10 and 30, there is only 3\u201d difference in length, but it actually does make a difference. <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t tend to carry the same gear all the time,  my suggestion is to get a large camera bag so you can carry all your gear when you need to and a smaller bag for those quiet time. For me, I am using a Retrospective 30 as my large bag and a Think Tank Wir Up 10 as my travel bag which they don\u2019t make it anymore. But I love this bag because it also converts to a belt pack and it has cable pass through to sort out the wires of my headphone and iPod. As an alternative check out the Retrospective 5<\/a>, it is even smaller.<\/p>\n

This applies to backpacks and roller bags too. Get the largest one when you need to carry everything and have a smaller one to carry the essentials. I am using the Think Tank Airport International V2<\/a> which is the largest roller that can carry on board. Check out the review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
