The cameras all appear to Nikon F4s with data back. The lenses I belive are (from left to right) 600mm f4, 400mm f2.8, 80-200 f2.8, I belive some type of mirror lens, although I could be wrong on that, and the last one looks like a 75-300, a much older model as you can see by the "Passed" gold sticker on the hood.

The middle one is a prime lens probably the 300 f4 , the tip off is the drop in rear filter holder
I think the lenses and the cameras are about 45.000 US$. This boy need a body guard. The next time he will come with all Canon 1 Ds and brandnew white L lenses. He need a little discount.

If I had that rig it would get knocked over. Don't know how, but it would. I would never be able to leave it. No matter how much coffee I had drank. Where is the camera bag?
Please explain, i did not know such lens exsisted On canon the biggest lens they released was the 1200 f5.6 and that was only available to the pros of such mags like sports illustrated and such! That lens was special order only and at a price of about $80,000 US!
Nikon and sigma have also only gone up to about 800mm i think.
Now all he needs is about six eyes on stalks, one for each viewfinder..
or maybe just big compound eyes, like a giant fly or something..
sure hope he isn't using manual settings on each camera.. if he is, he has to change them when he swings the tripod in different directions, and each lens would require different manual settings on each camera.. how does he keep track? they must be on shutter priority.. or (heaven forbid) full auto..
I got a feeling this is going to be one of those pictures that slowly permeate through the photographic forums for years ahead (remembered the bearded gentleman with his 1200-1700/5.6-8? and that guy with the 1200/5.6L? both of which actually cost more than this whole rig, though I know which I'd prefer!)
By the looks of it the kit consists of:
5 F4s + MF23
800/5.6 AIS
600/4 AFS
300/2.8 AFS (?)
2 tokinas, one of which is probably a 300/2.8 (why 2 of the same focal length? so he can shoot 2 rolls at the same focal length? if Yes, why not 2 nikkors) The other one looks like one of those tele zooms, though I have little experience with tokinas
reminds me of a image I saw of a Japanese photographer who shot NASA launches, had a similar setup.
