I'm surprised that props didn't give him a dinged up black lens on a camera that looked like it been used before. The edge of his helmet looks properly scruffy.

i dont know if that stuff was given to him - as i heard it is real documentary - so it should be his real camera in movie...

i also notice he's got a 20D hanging by his side as a back up. Seems the man does know a thing or 2 about reliability.

and i think thats a 15mm superwide not a 12mm ultra. The ultra has a metal viewfinder and a removable hood. Sorry... i'm a geek, i know!
