Hmmmm.... Well, I'd guess that whatever body Gee Dubya uses, he's got something like a 1200mm tele mounted on it - you know, to concentrate on the stuff going on a long ways away, whilst everything happening around him is being missed. Kerry, OTOH, might have had a use for a Nikonos back in Vietnam, so if he dropped it in the water pulling that guy out of the river, it would still work. Right now, I think he'd be a Canon man - you know flavour-of-the-month. But, he'd probably tape over the logo anyways. That way, he'd have it both ways - impress the Canophiles, whilst not bothering the rest. Cheney? I think he might want an old mechanical workhorse, like an MX - the electronics of anything newer might interfere with his pacemaker. Edwards, sadly, I don't know enough about - hardly hear his name mentioned up here in the Great White North. Give him something disposable? That's the best I can do for now. Anyway, the election's over. 'Skins lost yesterday, so Kerry's gonna win. <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
