Serviced felt a photographer living in this pocket

I belong to the people who were never really happy with camera bags and photo backpacks. For this reason, I have a whole arsenal of those things at home and can make friends with a maximum of normal-sized Hadley Billingham. I think the optically not soooo pretty as some others and the prices are not exactly small, but at least I'll be with the clear when I have to take a bigger part of my equipment. But what I have been sorely missed is the small pocket on the go. Small and light enough to take what I usually take with if I want to specifically take pictures more or less or just want to have a camera: DSLR and two, maximum three Obketive, some odds and ends, that's it. The bag should be practical, be not immediately look for camera bag and comfortable to wear.

Requirements are met! The Retrospective 5 is just that. Practically (rarely seen such a small, while well-designed bag), small (but not tiny), pretty and fairly unremarkable (to my taste). And she did, despite the modest size so many compartments and pockets, some with zip that you really have to wonder about it. The shoulder strap is good and soft (with cushions), in addition it has a unaufälligen handle, perfect! Add to that a rain cover in a small bag in the front pocket.
As a pure pocket for compact equipment they would be totally undervalued in my opinion. I get no problems purely a (large) DLSR with 1.4 / 24, a Tokina 11-16 and a 1.4 / 50. Instead of a 11-16 Tokina would even fit in, for example, 50-135, with an otherwise identical equipment in the bag. Plus batteries, memory cards, mobile phone, notebook and if necessary a lot more at odds and ends. The camera can be set up with one of the larger, or thicker lenses well brought out from the top, two lenses then fit even the left and right in the pockets, one naturally small. Depending on the size (better: thickness) of Obejktive can one even then rausholen when the camera stays in the pocket. The small lens is so to speak, under the camera side to the handle, so you have to pick out the camera of course. In a pinch you could probably also somehow take four (smaller and thinner lenses), but then you would take away the great handling of the bag a little. I think most photographers with a penchant for telephoto or telephoto zoom like a 2.8 / 70-200 less pleasure in such a case would, but you probably know from the outset. Which perhaps also such a lens could fit in somehow.

Whether the bag lasts long, of course, I can not say the processing but it looks very good. How rainproof she is, I do not know, but probably much closer than my comic backpack Kata. And sooo important to me is that not also. Particularly as it is the rain cover it.

So, all in all, for me a pretty perfect product if you are looking for a small bag into which it can fit in an astonishing amount. If you want to ... Oh yes, the price. Not cheap, but reasonable for me. Should they be as durable as it looks, then all male. Although I would buy them again if they should keep only two years. As I said, feeling a photographer life waiting for this bag.

Addendum: I know this sounds like adulation with a professional Produktdingsbums ... it is not. I am the owner of this bag and nothing else! And I only write reviews when I'm annoyed or excited about something.
