Matias Klum used Pentax cameras and lenses for several of his National Geographic articles. Now he shoots Nikon, but his wife still uses Pentax 35 mm. and 645 cameras and lenses. Some months ago I watched a documentary about him on TV. He was taking photos of eagles in an island near the Artic Ocean. He was using several Nikon F5 bodies and some big Nikon glass. The funny thing is that he was mostly unsuccessful and couldn't get a lot of good pictures of those eagles after spending several days in a hide in the mountain with an assistant. His wife, on the other hand, went every day to the sea with a local fisherman, who was well known by those eagles because he usually gave them part of the fish he caught. She could get very close pictures of the birds, using her 645 and Z-1P and short lenses, instead of the big telephotos her husband had in his Nikons.
