its s kodak DSC 760, modified F5 body, see

here

Whatever it is they are using there is a lot of chromatic abberation on the lens .... look at the blue fringing on the horizon!

One word .. Awesome..

Can I have a D2x in white too

Met a friend of a friend over lunch one day years ago. The guy asked what cameras I used; "Linhof and Hasselblad" I replied. "No Nikon? I shoot Linhof and Hasselblad AND Nikon," he responded. So I asked the obvious. "So, you're a photographer are you?" "No, I'm an astronaut."

The guy was paul Scully-Power, the first Aussie to go up on the shuttle. He is a marine biologist and went as a mission specialist. Last I heard he is Chancellor of Bond University.

He said that even with all the simulators and training NOTHING prepares you for the spectacle when you first look out the window.

Nevertheless, I guess one has to wonder just how much longer manned space missions can be justified.

Cheers,
