That's my point; it's _not_ the best equipment for the job. Any photo he
was taking on the Brooklyn Bridge would have been of a static
subject--witness the tripod. And in fact (for example) an RB67 or Pentax
6x7 with the appropriate focal length lens would represent a smaller
investment than the EOS1 and 80-200 2.8.
