Shooting the Olympics

So, you think you can be a photog at the Olympics? Yeah, me too ;)

But, check out Newsweek photographer Vincent Laforet’s gallery of the equipment that he took to Beijing (worth reviewing each image to read the captions too) and it might change your mind…

  1. 2 x EOS 1Ds MKIII
  2. 3 x EOS 1D MKIII
  3. 1 x EOS 5D

And that’s just the bodies. He also has +100GB of Lexar UDMA cards (amounting to nearly 20 cards), two laptops (Mac PB17’s) and over a dozen lenses including a full case of primes and another of zooms. 7 remote transceivers and a heavy case of grip equipment too.

I complain when my Packington is loaded with my Leica M and Nikon D200 + lenses! I’m so weak!
