This is my latest camera bag. ThinkTank Skin 75 Pop down. Well it's not really a camera bag as it is a lens bag.



Just like most other lens bag available on the market, this ThinkTank 75 pop down is designed for you to attach to your belt so you can carry additional lenses with you and allow you to change lens quickly. This is great when you are shooting events/weddings when you just don't have time to change lens slowly.





The ThinkTank 75 pop down is part of the ThinkTank Skin Component Systems. Compare to ThinkTank's "Lens Changer" series which are lightly padded bags, the "Skin" series are unpadded, and you can compress it to flat when not using it . Obviously if you want more protection, you should look at the Lens Changer series bags


The build quality is excellent. As good as any of the camera bags i've used before. Top quality material is used to build this bad and the attention to details is just great!
For example, the flap is secured by velco but it has a Silencer Flap design, which means you can temporary disable the velco when you don't want the unwanted attention (when shooting in a very quiet place)

Normal Mode:



Silent Mode:



The Skin 75 pop down can fit a 70-200 f/2.8 lens with the hood removed/reversed.



They call it a "pop down" bag because you can unzip the bottom part and extend it. With the bottom part pop down, you can fit a 70-200 f/2.8 with the hood in position.







There is a pocket (zipped) outside which can fit your lens cap, filter or other things (fits 77mm lens cap + filter easily), under the flap, there is another pocket for accessories.

A rain cover is included and stored at the bottom of the bag.




Since i quite often carry multiple Skin/lens pouches with heavy lenses (like 24-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8 VR), instead of just using a normal belt to support thm, I got myself a thinkTank Belly Dancer which is a harness that distributed the weight between shoulders and waist. With the thinkTank Belly Dancer, even if i have to carry multiple Skin bags (with some f/2.8 zoom lenses) whole day i don't really feel tired./sore.

I'm really impressed by the quality, design of the bag. And because of this bag, i'm now a big fan of the ThinkTank bags!

Very nice! Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review! Just tempting me to go out and buy more stuff

Hey All,

Nice looking bag. Even better looking lens.
Richard, thanks for the concern - I was quite busy the last couple of weeks, travelling, etc. Never got a chance to post.
But I'm back now and will try and post a few. I even got a few shots for 'that' Bigmos reveiw. I hope. LOL.
