Think Tank is a one way trip... don't come back later saying that we didn't warn you!

I can't help you with your inquiry, though...

Once you start buying Think Tank gear, you'll never stop! It is SO GOOD that it gets you addicted to it!

Look up "authorized dealers" on the Thinktankphoto site.

I know what you mean. I just bought a UD 60 today. Almost bought the 70 but it looked a little too bulky and un-stealth. There is a local shop in Palo Alto where I live that carries them. I went down there, put them side-by-side, sure enough the 70 is about 1 cm wider but it looks 5 cm wider for some reason. I was going to get the 70 because I have a gripped 5DMkII. I asked them for a pro body with lens to try out the 60. It fits one way (snug) but not the other (zipper won't close). I almost pulled the trigger on the 70 but wanted to double check the 60 would not fit the gripped body. When it did I switched to the 60. It has a laptop area and is slightly narrower but the body (with 70-200f/2.8) will fit vertically as long as you don't have a huge laptop in there (mine is quite small).

I think this bag is pretty nice. My Kata 465 doesn't handle the grip very well. This one will and I bought the optional backpack straps (very clever design) to go with it.

i found em on the interweb. but they wuz closed today.

EDIT:

whoa! chalun you;re from HI?! cool!

The funny thing about TT gear is that you will buy several. But once you buy the right ones for your style of shooting, you won't need to buy others. I've stopped needing or looking for other bags for over a year now. The only problem is TT seems to come up new bags that make you want to buy them.

A couple of things jump out at me with respect to attention to detail. First, the way they lock a zipper with the little velcro mini-tab is brilliant. I've never seen that before. It's so simple but also so effective. Second, there is a woman's touch to the design (I can see this because I am a man) in that things are thought out in extra detail from the standpoint of real photographers field testing all of these ideas. I'm not quite sure what it is but it's there. It's very similar to Steve Jobs' way of designing things. Just make it work and just make sure the customer wants and needs it. There is no useless fluff on my bag. It's all functional.

Yea they only open a few days a week and only a little during the afternoons. Best to give them a call, the owner (and only person working there) is very nice.

I hope you find what you need! If you are still on Oahu Lighthaus camera has a few think tank products also

so very true. I've been using the multimedia waist pack, and love it. I need the roller for travel, and for long glass when im shooting sports. it's a b!tch to check in a security check points before going into the stadiums and having to put down all my gear, take it off show it to the guards and then put it all back. if i just open one flap then im set. hehe. then i can just roll on in too.
