645D in German TV prime time

falconeye · 02-17-2012, 01:36 PM

Spotted this during prime time news special on German TV about Germany's presidential resignation (Wulff).

The photographer is depicted while shooting Germany's president.

Anyway, this is probably the first time I see a pro Pentax camera on the news!

Well at least Wulff got a good picture on his way home

So scarce to see this kind of back-office pictures on TV.
As scarce as German's presidents resignations i believe.

He gets to shoot the president and doesn't even own a CaNikon? who let that amateur in??

Could be the GPS module, or a wireless trigger

Zygonyx · 02-20-2012, 06:43 AM

I vote for a flash trigger

Definitely a flash trigger. Can't remember which model, but it's sold on fleabay. Funny that he didn't use a name brand one on a 10K camera

I spotted at "Bundespressekonferenz*" even a Leica M9 .
So CaNikon-ownership is not a condition for a membership at BPK .

I don't understand why people bother with these on a Pentax and the resulting limitations regarding shutter speed.

I'd take the Cactus V5 or even Cactus V4 over the RF-602 any day.
