Think Tank Retrospective™ 30 - £145 (inc. VAT)
As used by Damien Lovegrove

Overview
The Retrospective series was created for the professional photographer that wants to blend in with the crowd and remain inconspicuous in any situation. Think Tank's product designers have blended the look and feel of
"old-school" camera bags and infused it with "new-school" features and
technology for the digital imaging age.
The Retrospective 30 can fit some telephoto zoom lenses attached to a
DSLR, facing sideways in the bag. Pictured below: Canon 430ex flash, 100mm f2.8 Macro, 5D with battery grip
attached, 100-400 IS attached to a 5D Mark II with battery grip, and a
24-70 f2.8.
Damien's thoughts:
"I use my Retrospective 30 for my Canon 5Dmk2 kit. It holds my 21mm, 50mm and 100mm prime lenses with ease as well as the usual accessories. The Retrospective 30 looks to be one size up on the Retrospective 7 and is not 4 times the size as the numbers might suggest."

The "sound silencers" underneath the main flap are used to suppress the
loud tearing sound hook-and-loop makes while opening and closing the
bag (pictured below). Simply release the sound silencer panels and cover the
hook-and-loop strips to prevent the hook-and-loop from contacting. A
clear business card pocket, for identification and spare cards, is also
located under the main flap.
