Hi Everyone

Just wanted to know if anyone had compared the ThinkTank Retrospective and the Lowepro Pro Messenger. Currently looking at a bag for my D700 with grip, 24-70 (attached to camera), 70-200 f/2.8, 50/1.4, 1.4x and a flash and some small accessories and these seem to fit into this category quite nicely.

Any thoughts on the two?

I was asked a similar question a while ago by a friend and after a bit of looking around we found a Vanguard bag, significant cost saving on the other well known brands, quality seems on a par and readily available locally.
The model that he settled on was this one. (http://www.vanguardworld.com.au/index.php/pv/products/photo-video/detail-1-1-228-721.html)
Apart from some very expensive bags, it seems that all the mainstream manufacturers use factories in China or Viet Nam these days so quality is all probably much the same.
