Great camera bag for a decent sized DSLR or Mirrorless system. I've used it for a couple years, shows some wear but no abuse.

I had a shoemaker sew velcro across the flap of the bag so you can put fun velcro morale patches on the outside. The patches in the first shot are NOT included! The unused rain cover is also included.

$50 plus ship in the US.

A shame you put velcro on a good, useful bag. Would have been interested otherwise.

Ummmmm….OK…??? It adds functionality….I guess you don’t have to put any patches on if you don’t want….

If it's the loop, as opposed to the hook side of the velcro, I don't see any harm.

If you have any velcro fasteners on a jacket cuff, I can see them getting snagged all the time. Why mess with a nice bag, anyway? So you can have goofy patches on it? It also seems like a magnet for pet hair, dust and dirt.

I recently picked up a used copy of this bag. I think a generation earlier. Very nice size. Big enough to get things in and out but not bulky and clunky. Nice for a medium format kit in the field for a day. Or just for lunch and a coffee thermos to work and back.

Not sure why people feel the need to explain why something is wrong for them. Must be a real joy to go to a flea market with people like this.. 'well, this shirt would be ok but I hate blue so it's no good. And this chair doesn't match my table. Did you know that I am allergic to radishes? Too bad that they allow radishes in here, that's just wrong...' Geez, you don't want to buy it, move on...

Good luck with sale. Nice price for a nice bag.

Dude, don't crap on this guy's sale.

This is a great bag at a bargain price. I own one (and two other Retrospectives of different sizes). They're awesome and they'll last a lifetime.

If Pieter12's strange comment wasn't driving more attention to this thread, I would have deleted it from a Sale thread.
GLWS. FWIW, I like the velcro addition, but as I'm not in the market for the bag, my preference has no relevance whatsoever to this thread.
