Tough being a political photojournalist.

Okay... now THAT is impressive to me. A simple acceptance of the camera equipment as a disposable tool required to do a job. That event must've been a hoot for all involved. The nearly submerged chaps in the mud look to be having the times of their lives Great series. Kudos to the photographer.

Just don't let him send that 5D2 to Antarctica--might get wet.

Is that a sock hanging out of his pocket?

I think we should take reviews less seriously - the Nikonians have found that out from Ken.

Hope that he had a filter on that ultrawide so that he can hose it off without fear. He should be able to gently wash off the 1-series, but I recommend a damp cloth approach on the 5D2. I don't know that it's as willing to accept rinsing as the 1.

That would be a "clean day" for me after shooting motocross in the mud! I slipped, fell, and landed on one of my 1 series bodies at Budds Creek. The entire body, 70-200 and all, was completely submerged in a foot of mud. It made that sound like toilet plunger when I pulled it out. I wiped it off, changed the filter, and kept shooting without missing a beat. I think it's funny the way some FM'ers baby their gear.

My guess is as long as he owns the camera.

I don't know what race he was shooting but it looks amazing!!! I would definitely fly out there to compete in that race.
