Camera Equipment at Singapore Open 2008

..the most important question is, did our Sealman try or borrow one of those lenses??..

nah i didnt have a media pass to access the courtside areas..... and dun think they will allow me to use their company lens in case i dropped it

lol. SpendorK, is that person holding the Pentax you??

He's my friend.

and what's that big lens held by the guy in black? maybe a nikon 300/2.8?

That lens is the Olympus Zuiko Digital ED90-250mm f2.8 zoom lens which can easily cost about $10k. With his Olympus E-520 body being 2x factor, this translates to 180-500mm (35mm image size). Info gotten directly from the user himself.

when i saw this photographer on the first day using a compact camera body, i thought he was using a nikon d40.

If I'm not wrong, some of his shots can be found online here.
