Be prepared to drool ...

Used to be, I needed a box of tissue handy when watching a sad movie ...now I need one when I look at photos like this!

Based on the title I was expecting food.

[neuroanatomist]

A whole bunch of Canon gear...and a Nikon monopod. [^o)]


Having a 70-200mm f/2.8L, and knowing it's size and bulk...the pair of them sure look tiny on that bed by comparison!

I think that gear cost more than the Royal Wedding.

And no short primes? Well I guess you have to be practical as well, but I still think they should have the Magic Canon Ball in there.


John.

[HDNitehawk]

2 x 500mm, 1x 400mm, 1 x 300mm and 1 x 600mm?


I think some are older versions?


I guess pro's don't worry about dust on their sensors, only one body appears to have a cap on it.

A little redundancy ya think. I guess one could find a purpose to tote all that around.

Finding a purpose is easy. Finding a helper to carry them for you is the trick. Thats two photographers gear, I would think they would have at least 1 assistant apiece, if not two.


I am thinking to move fast, most of their lenses are going to already be mounted to a body ready to go.


But with just 1 monopod which guy has to hand hold?

Wow, Looks almost as good as John's (Neuro's) kit []. My guess is there is at least another20 or 30pounds not shown because there wasn't enough room on the bed,i.e. batteries, cards, light stands,and probably a tripod or two, sure glad i am not the apprentice that has to haul all of that stuff around.
