I’ve changed my mind… this thing is NOT the 24-70.

Something is wrong. The distance between the focus ring and the distance meter is not right. And the front looks slightly different.

And the back looks slightly different too!

WHAT IS THIS SECOND LENS??

I’d say 100% 24-70 on that 2nd body.

Oooh, and the matte box on the other body says this was a matched set…

Solid mirror housing and integral grip say pro level camera and wheel screams video. At the very least we’ve got a pro level camera with video in the mix.

But what type of amateur crap is that using light colored tape to cover the model number? Or were they trying to get attention?

The camera on the Fig Rig would suggest video

It’s a D3 something (prob D3s).

I know because theirs a D3 right next to me and it looks EXACTLY like it, except for the silver tape covering the D3.

Huh? Yes? Everyone has a motorcycle in Barcelona, it’s crowded and tight. It’s a Triumph, good make I hear.

Mmmmmm….Nothing like a nice big matte box on the front of a VSLR in the morning. That’s a good looking setup. That Sachtler crane wouldn’t be too nasty to own either. The Fig-Rig (round stabilizer) however – I’m not convinced.

Here’s to hoping the video on the D3s is even another step up from the existing lineup. Every improvement is a welcome one.

Given the booms, I would say they were not shooting stills, either. The location was the corner of the Passeig de Gracia and Calle Provença, yesterday afternoon; outside Casa Milà (in tourist speak, Gaudi’s La Pedrera building).

As for any more information, I don’t know, as most people were busy enjoying the public holiday.

That’s a Manfrotto FigRig, used for small camcorders, prosumer cams etc. AND DLSR’s capable of filming. No reason for putting a Nikon that cannot shoot video on a Figrig IMO. The other is a Steady Crane… used for smooth panning motion when…tada…filming! Not shooting stills… so, if that camera is a probody Nikon… that’s for sure a video enabled camera… otherwise the whole shoot wouldn’t make any sense… And I’m a pro videoproducer – I would know
