Although I haven't commented on each and every addition (it gets away from me sometimes), I have enjoyed ALL entries and have appreciated everyones willingness to share.
I have a subscription (hope its the good word for this) to F1 racing and always see there pictures in the front of the magazine are made with the eos 1v on film. The guy in the picture seems to be their photographer

That was my exact thought when I took it! I also subscribe to that magazine.
For what its worth, I have yet to observe a newspaper/magazine photographer in Seattle using a Nikon camera for their work. The great majority is being done with 1D Mark 1's, and a few 1D Mark 2's. Lenses of choice are the 70-200 2.8 non-IS, and the 17-35 2.8/16-35 2.8
That being said, I still shot these photos of Canon-toting pros, with my Nikon camera.

In the orange is the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Dan Delong (a really great guy and even better photog), with a 1dmk1 and 70-200 2.8 non-is.

From behind this is Karen Ducey, also of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. She is toting a 1dmk1 and a 500 f/4. She is a great person to have next to you on a media podium
Shot these of my friend Phil Webber, with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, while on a job shadow with him. In the 2nd shot, that is a 28-70 on a 1dmk1. 550 ex flash.

Grant Haller of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, with 2 1dmk1 bodies, a 17-35 2.8 on one and a 70-200 2.8 non is on the one in his hands.

I borrowed a buddy's 300 2.8 non-is for a shoot, which obviously compliments my nikon d70 and 18-35 Here is a self portrait with me holding it..
