Think Tank Photo CityWalker 30 Messenger Bag (Black) Review

Customer Ratings:

As a product itself, this gets 5 stars. I really love the new CityWalker series of bags as I currently use the ThinkTank Retrospective 30 for weddings and wanted a day bag with a few more features suited for personal use around town with a camera in tow. The quick access front pocket on the flap and water bottle mesh holders on the side are perfect for running around the city with a camera too inside the padded insert. I also appreciate the locking clasp in addition to the velcro for the main flap for a bit more security of things falling out throughout the day.

The misleading thing is that a Retrospective 30 and a CityWalker 30 are two completely different sized bags, even though they both use the "30" as the model number. A Retrospective 30 will easily fit a 70-200 and other lenes, whereas the CityWalker 30 will fit that plus a 15" laptop making the entire bag more the size of maybe a 40 equivalent? All I knew was that the CityWalker 30 was waaaaay more bag than I wanted to be carrying around for more than a few minutes. I actually returned the CityWalker 30 and got the CityWalker 20 instead as it is more equivalent in size to the Retro30 and still holds my 15.4" MBP (albeit not in a super padded way but it fits with the camera inserts. My wife was going to use the CityWalker 20 but we swapped that and got her the CityWalker 10 which was more her size and easily fits her 11" MBA and other necessities around town.

Versatile with lots of compartments and pockets. Can only hold camera with lens and two lenses in compartments. No specific place for batteries, fitters, etc.

Excellent storage for 15 in.computer inside and outside of bag (makes going through security much easier).

Very good quality.
