Cameras in space - NASA and ISS

[Padaung]

Although equipment wise this is all Nikon gear, I'm sure this may be of interest to all camera enthusiasts.

I particularly liked the shot of the astronaut hand holding a D2x and 400mm with 2x teleconverter. If only it were that easy on land!

Great for Nikon. Their equitment, in space, unmodified. That's answers my question about what camera I should take when I go to mars now, what lens...

Now if NASA can get their paws on the Nikkor 1200-1700mm f5.6-8.0 (the Mother of All Zooms), they can retire the Hubble Space Telescope. In zero G, those astronauts should be able to handhold that 16Kg monster easily.

Sweet!!!

All they need is the Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 Fisheye MF and possibly the Nikkor Super telephoto Zoom lense 1200-1700mm f/5.6~8.0s P ED IF
