Look inside the Canon Professional Services (CPS) at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games to see the vast numbers of cameras and lenses.
As an IT guy with a photography hobby and a Lumix S5 with a Lumix S 24-105mm/4 lens 90% of the time in my backpack (the other 10% of the time I have a Sigma 100-400mm lens mounted on my S5), this does indeed make me jealous...
I really like the idea of a photography collective. I've yet to achieve that but in the meanttime, my friends and I have just shared lenses with each other. Works great if you live in the same city and if not, mailing lenses isn't super expensive.
Amazing stuff.
And yes, Nikon and Sony have their crews in the Main Press Center too.
But what sane person would use those? Ha!
