I was drooling today grrrr press photographers and their lens

[Gamefreak501]

Flipping hell... Some people have far too much money!

Anyway...when I'm not doing anything too serious, I normally just carry one Minolta 7000 body, a 35-105mm and a 70-210mm.

If I'm doing some serious photography, I will bring a spare Minolta 7000 body just in case, with the 35-105mm on, have the 70-210mm on my main body and a 50mm prime too, as well as a tripod.

When I go digital, I intend to buy a spare camera body.. Of course, I am no professional, but it's just in case. Nothing like a 1DS though! Two 300Ds will do me! Plus theres that Canon film system I'm building up too.

The 500mm F4 IS has an extra black grip towards the front lens element

It's definitely a 300mm 2.8

Right : Canon EF 500mm F4 IS L

Before you all get too excited, even pros hire those sort of lenses rather than own them.

Indeed - I doubt it would be cost effective to buy one really!

But the magazines they work for own them

Indeed
Sports Illustrated own several Canon 1200mm lenses and photo G's working for agencies will be using their lenses.
I know many photographers who own Canon 300mm 2.8, 500mm F4's etc

 

[Awesome]

It's one thing using those lenses, I wouldin't fancy lugging them around I don't think they would fit inside my little Lowepro nova 1..

Those two with the handles above and below really look like surface to air missle launchers

Best I've got:

Im probably going to order a 1.4tc for it today.

 

[SDK^]

Joe - Is that a Sigma 100-300 F4 ?

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

Its funny, as soon as I saw those pictures posted at top I new it was a 300mm F2.8 and 1200s.

You just seem to know the shapes and locations of the grips when your a canon trooper.

 

[Joe T]

Joe - Is that a Sigma 100-300 F4 ?

No, its the one in my sig, the Sigma 120-300 2.8.

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]
