Don't think its some test model, but I could not identify it; any clues here? just curious

The design is very similar to Fuji 6x7 or 6x9 medium format film rangefinder camera. Could be one of them.edoorn said:Don't think its some test model, but I could not identify it; any clues here? just curious

Maybe so she can tell her camera/lens from all the other Canon gear that might get set down on a table. Maybe it means that lens is AFMA'd to that body, whereas the white lens with green tape that you don't see is matched to the body with green tape that you also don't see.
The guy at her left-hand side seems to have exactly the same setup, except for the lack of tape.Mikehit said:Why the pink tape....? If you are trying to conceal something it seems a very obvious way to do it....

Good idea! I did wonder why the lens had the same pink tape.

More plausible than it being to conceal the identity of a yet to be released Canon body. Canon model numbers aren't marked in that position and even if this was about to change printing it on a test model to be used in a very public environment wouldn't make sense.

neuroanatomist said:Exactly. And why pink? It stands out. The same reason I can spot my luggage on the wrong carousel across the concourse.

Those look purple to me. Mmm... purple.
