Mike said the Thinktank Retrospective Five is too small, and gets in its own way. He's right. I tried it for a day, and took it back.
Then Mike reviewed the Thinktank Retro seven and found it great for a Hasselblad outfit. Right Again, Mike! Right now I have in it: 500CM with 60mm Distagon; 40mm Distagon; 100mm Planar; an extra back; Compendium shade; light meter; and filters. And there's plenty of room for film.
This bag is a keeper! It holds just about what I can carry, or would want to, and does it without crowding. Yet, it's not a very big bag, and feels comfortable!
Great review, Mike! Thanks!

I agree - the "7" is just right, not too big, not too small. Like you, I used to have the 5 but found it too small. At one time, I also had the 20 but found it a bit too heavy when loaded with DSLR gear. The 7 is perfect for my A7R kit and is definitely a keeper.
