Can you fit an iPad in the Think Tank Photo Retrospective 5 Camera bag? - YouTube


I was too looking for a bag for m43 that can fit an ipad. And had narrow down to the Clik Elite Traveler or Schulter

The Schulter is nicer but it's more ex. And as it is top loading it can only fit 3 lenses, or 4 lenses if I stack the lenses.
To me it's a bit too dangerous to stack the lenses, so end up I bought the traveler from challenger.
It can fit 4 or 5 m43 lenses and a flash. Or for a normal dslr it can fit a 70-200

It's only slightly bigger than an ipad. The ipad pocket is quite tight, so you can only use a thin back case with the smart cover

but still can fit everything I have

You might find the phone compartment a big small, as can only fit a iphone4, not the iphone5 or S3 or note... Anyway I use it to put my earphone

Fits a 10.1 inch tablet, the E-M5, a couple of lenses, and a flash gun easily.

Bought a Crumpler Haven (L) yesterday for my OM-D. In fact you can fit your OM-D easily into size M or size S but I bought the big one so that I can fit with my other DSLR if needed. Paid $72 w GST for it (you get 10% disc using citibank cards). Now I can dump my camera into a single bag with some protection without carrying an extra bag just for the camera... =D

Get the iPad mini, goes well with the Omd and retrospective 5. Perfect travel combination

I will wait for the iPad mini with Retina Screen... iphone is using it, imac is using it, ipad is using it... don't know why ipad mini not using it...

I have the medium size Crumpler Haven, used it last week to travel to S Korea. I have a regular Adidas backpack and put this into the backpack. Generally it is great inflight as I wanted to be able to lock my bag (which my previous Billingham wasn't able to)

However, it is more troublesome to draw the camera out when I see something interesting to shoot. It's a compromise. Overall the Haven is well built and serves its purpose well.

looks like a good solution to just buy the inserts and fit it into any normal bag. anywhere to view this crumpler haven in small?

Cheers

I'm using Herringbone. Fits my OM-D and looks rather trendy for me.

Was on holiday the past 10 days (with some work in between), and managed to visit a few shops to check out some camera bags. Was set on getting the Think Tank Retrospective 5 for my m4/3 kit + iPad, but balked at the price. Fast forward to a few days later (and a different country), and I came upon a Tamrac Zuma 3 which was the perfect size, and around half the price!

Tamrac - Model 5723 - Zuma 3 Photo/iPad Shoulder Bag - Managed to snag it for HKD 550 at Wing Shing; don't know how much it costs in SG, but given that BH Photo has it in stock for US$70 I'm pretty happy with the price I got it for the main compartment was perfect for a pair of primes, my iPad, 2 PET bottles, some snacks, and still some space left over to shove in my m4/3 body + another prime when I got tired of carrying my camera around. Bag didn't look too big either; at least it didn't attract unwanted attention by the check-in staff of Tiger Airways
