ThinkTank retrospective 30 or ThinkTank streetwalker harddrive?

[nathan549]

Hey guys, I'm trying to decide which of these bags to buy, i know il eventually need to both bags but have to decide which one to get first.
The reason i was thinking of getting the Retrospective 30 first was because its smaller and i don't have a heap of gear to carry as of yet.
But i do like to bring my tripod when i'm out photographing so thats where the streetwalker harddrive will come in handy with the inbuilt tripod holder,
but it is a massive bag.

Which bag would you guys recommend?

I have the Streetwalker Hardrive. It is an excellent backpac, can hold a ton of gear securely, and is very easy to carry.
That being said, it is somewhat a pain to actually shoot out of. You have to put the bag down to get any of your gear out.
The retrospective bags are a lot smaller and much easier to shoot out of.
It all comes down to personal choice and what works best for you. I now find myself w/ 4 different bags for 4 different reasons. Each one has its own speciallty, lol.
