p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Name that gear...


Is it just me? When I see a news photo like this (NYTimes, today), I look at the press and pick out the lenses and so forth...
Down the front of the table, I see a 16-35? (I vs II, I don't know,) then I'm guessing a 50 something, next guy has a 35 or 24 L on an XXd shaped body... over on the left is a weird beast with gold lettering, arghhh...

Haha, amusing topic. From left to right, the first lens seems to be Nikon, the second, like your said 16-35 on a 1-Series body, third, 50 f/1.4 on a 5D?, forth, 35L? on a xxD body like you said.

Yeah, except that if you were you could probably afford all of that gear in front of you.

Funny, I posted a link to this picture in the "Canon in Action" thread.

Also looks like we have a 50/50 split between left eye dominant and right eye dominant photogs.

In days of old everyone or almost everyone was right eye.

Youngsters can you guess why?




Because your right thumb had to move a little lever to the right to advance the f i l m.

ps Bernie does look like he's praying.

I can't even force myself to use my right eye, I may as well just close my eyes....

I would hate to be Ben these days, but not because of the cameras, but because the decisions he is making have such far reaching consequences. One wrong move and millions of people could suffer... Power to the Fed!

Looks like a Nikon 24-70 on the left and a Tamron on the far right, middle.

Stringer's don't normally get any of the photo departments equipment budget, so they often use the 1.6 crop bodies.

ohh!? - shows how much I know... I didn't realize folks actually used cameras with the left eye. How do you manipulate the back dial w/o sticking your thumb in in your nose :-) Funny coming from a natural lefty - I always just have adapted because otherwise the ergonomics are seriously off - using right hand for scissors, wearing watch on left (how else can you wind it?), playing guitar right handed etc.

It's a 35L - the 24L has a different shaped hood.

Funny I do the same when I see something on TV with photographers. I can even tolerate for a few minutes a horse race just to see some gear

Was flash prohibited?

I'm sure I saw some bad horror movie where a vampire is repelled by some guy's flashgun.

Keep watering down that dollar, Ben, keep the masses eye-deep in debt...
