THINK TANK Tumstyle 10 V2 Messenger Bag, 75 cm, Blue (Azul)

My one regret about buying the TurnStyle 10: Not buying it sooner. I’m thrilled with this bag. I have four other Think Tank bags — three shoulder bags from the Retrospective series plus one larger Photocross 13 sling — so I was already sold on the brand and its quality. My needs were changing, however. My go-to camera is a Sony A73 with a Sony 24-105 lens. I also use a 5/8-inch baseplate for added comfort and stability. Besides a few minor accessories, that's all I wanted this bag to carry. If the TurnStyle 10 provided enough room for a second lens, great. In the end, I just wanted a bag that provided better weight distribution on my healthy but aging frame, as well as quick and easy access to my gear. The main compartment of the TurnStyle 10 easily accommodated the gear mentioned above. I then explored using the bag with various lens combinations. To keep things simple, I wanted the option of storing either lens on the camera without having to swap positions before loading and zipping up the bag. Again, the TurnStyle 10 delivered. After tinkering with the dividers and different camera positions (sideways vs. lens facing down), I found I could easily carry any two of the following lenses: 24-105, 16-35, 28-75, 17-28, 70-180, 35. Usually the camera with an attached lens sits sideways; the second lens stands upright in a compartment I created at the wide end of the kidney-shaped bag. With all combinations except for those including the 70-180, I also had room in the main compartment for a mini-tripod. Carrying the 70-180 with one of the other lenses was doable, but it was a tight fit when that lens was mounted to the camera. I don’t like fighting with my gear, so I’m fine with making an exception for this one lens and letting it stand upright in its own compartment without being attached to the camera. It's inconvenient swapping it out before putting everything away. But fortunately, with this bag slung across my chest, it’s easy and less stressful changing lenses. The exterior pocket on the front side of the bag is adequate. I use mine mostly for a spare battery, polarizing filter, pen and Apple Air Tag, but you could easily add a key fob, cards, granola bar, whatever. Just keep in mind that anything bulky placed in the outside pocket will rob space from the main compartment. The same holds true for the inside pocket, which I'm currently not using, and exterior tablet compartment. [Development suggestion: A gusseted outside pocket with Velcro tabs or an expansion zipper (similar to a suitcase) would add flexibility.] The bag itself is really comfortable to carry — even more so as you start walking vs. standing still and obsessively asking yourself how it feels. :-) Just walk and you’ll forget it’s there. I haven’t had to use the waist strap, which keeps the bag in position when biking or hiking on steep grades. But when clipped together at their shortest position, the two straps form a sturdy, readily accessible grab handle when you want to sling the bag forward. I ordered the TurnStyle 10 in charcoal instead of bright blue to be less conspicuous. Once I stepped outside, however, I realized that the front panel of the charcoal bag is a subtle olive green. That was surprising, but it's a handsome combination that quickly grew on me. The zippers are high quality and slide easily. I appreciate having the double zipper on the main compartment. The webbing on the narrow side of the bag helps to keep gear secure when the bag is wide open. As advertised, the bag's back exterior pocket accommodates a small tablet, but you can also use it for a phone, slim battery pack, maps, passport or whatever flat item you want to stick in there. The rain cover, which emerges from a dedicated pocket at the bottom, is easy to access and put on. There isn’t a pocket for a water bottle, but I guess something had to give. I swore that I would never, ever put one inside a camera bag. However, I’ve changed my thinking on that after discovering a short, locking, leak-proof bottle (Owala SmoothSip Slider) that fits nicely in the compartment where I’d normally put a second lens. As a safeguard, I always place the locked tumbler on the wide side of the bag so it’s at the bottom when I’m carrying the TurnStyle 10 on my back. That way, if I neglect to lock the top or it springs a leak, it won’t drip water onto my gear. Nevertheless, any water bottle should be used with extreme caution inside a camera bag. Lastly, I like the way the Turnstyle 10 stands firmly on its side without listing or capsizing. The main strap also stands close to the rear of the bag without spilling across the table. This bag has a small footprint. There are newer and attractive slings being marketed by other companies, but some seem to be trying too hard and, at least for me, provide way more than I need. I don't need a computer when hiking, for instance. Extra features also add bulk, weight and draw more attention to the bag. Weighing only one pound, the TurnStyle 10 gives me everything I need in a light, efficient package. Bravo, Think Tank. This bag is a keeper.

This Think Tank 10 V2.0 bag is my second one. I have owned the TT 20 V2.0 for 8 years and used that one as my everyday carry bag for the Nikon D850 with the 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 lenses. I have loved it: so versatile and lightweight! The new bag is for use with OM System's OM-1 camera with the 12-40 f/2.8 Pro and 40-150mm f/2.8 plus the Pana-Leica 8-18 f/2.8-4: everything fits perfectly in this bag and, because the OM system is smaller, the smaller bag is a great bonus! Highly recommend the Think Tank Turnstyle bags for an everyday or even small travel bag.

Qualità ottima, belle finiture, spazi ben organizzati. È una soluzione comoda e capiente per portare in giro un kit fotografico (nel nostro caso con micro 4/3)

大きさ、使い勝手もいいと思います。 肩も疲れない。カメラも取り出しやすい。（ニコンＤ５６００ 標準レンズ）

Pile poil ce que je recherchais : sortir léger avec, malgré tout, mon Sony A7C + Tamron 70-300 mm f/4,5-6,3 Di III RXD ... Mission parfaitement remplie !
