This year (again) I took photos of the nice equipment used by the photographers at the SO 2008 and could not stop drooling at the bazooka lens
was very impressed with this lady's strength... carrying two camera bodies and two telephoto lens... its no easy job being a sports photographer...
Yeah i agree.. but this is nothing... there is one lady that i know who is in motorsports photography.. you should see the amount of ARMORs she carries. It make me feel like a lesser man. I will try to find her photo in my archive..
with such a sophisticated equipments; even pimples also can be zoomed in. Now days have to do more make up to hide the pimples and lines already. hehe
thanks for sharing these. a treat for us camera fans. i see the usual list of 70-200/2.8IS, 70-200VR, 70-200/2.8 AF-s. surprise to see 17-55 and 24-70 as those tend to be a bit short. also the biggies like 300/2.8 and 200/1.8. it seems like 200/2 hasn't trickle into the press yet. there are some which i cannot identify though, what's that silvery lens here held by the gray shirt guy? i think it is a Pentax... and what's that big lens held by the guy in black? maybe a nikon 300/2.8?
Hi everyone. Well done Kwun. I was using the 85 mm 1.8 For the first time. And was really delighted with the result it's a beauty ! A a lot cheaper, though, the 50 mm 1.8 does a great job. All the best to everyone Raphael
Always pleasant to see them... ..the most important question is, did our Sealman try or borrow one of those lenses??.. ..yep, lots of those. Btw, the 200mm/f1.8 lens, i believe that's the 8th pic, from the bottom, in the 1st post. I'm a bit surprise the guy(greenish shirt) was holding it w/out a monopod...hmm..
i am still drooling over these photos... aye. sweet memories of my singapore trip. i need another badminton vacation..
^^Off topic-Badminton vacation???...^^ ..do you want a relatively close baddy tourney vacation, say, just a few hundreds of miles away?? or one that is thousand of miles away??...if you pick the former, well, in almost 3 weeks, there'll be a baddy tourney, not as big as the S'pore Open, which you can attend......and you can take pics with, at the same time!...what say you, kwun??..
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
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.
