Canon is #1

[Don Haines]

Apparently, not only is Canon the number one choice of wildlife photographers, it is the number one choice of wildlife....

At this very moment, PETA is preparing a lawsuit to give the lioness rights to the photos.

I’m jus glad the lens is a relatively recent one. If it was an old lens, the lead in the glass elements might affect the mental development of the lion cubs. Canon’s Green initiatives are really paying off, now the cubs will get titanium in the glass instead of lead. Actually, it’s too bad the lioness didn’t pick the Nikon lens to give to her cubs...they could have built a cool ad campaign around that based on their I Am Nikon ads and a license from David Guetta.

This is actually a standard part of the QA process of Canon professional lenses and bodies. The camera must survive even if the soft meaty bits of the system get consumed by large predators.

In the article it says there were teeth puncture marks on the lens (and slobber) but that it still worked. Looking at her instagram, she has some nice wild life shots.

I wonder if Sony is going to start promoting their cameras to animals. Can't let Canon be #1 with animals.
