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
