D4防塵防水滴…還防熊？
最近攝影師Andrew Kane寫了一段記述自己的驚險奇遇的文章，當他將之張貼於論壇上，就馬上就成為了風靡各大攝影網的趣聞。事緣於Kane帶著他剛剛到手的D4到野外拍攝，並把D4裝設了於三腳架上準備拍攝，冷不防一隻灰熊已到達了離他十米之距。他只得以肩托著連腳架的D3退避，但當他要穿過一堆林木，便發覺很難人機兩存，只得作出一個痛苦的決定：在「要機定要命」的兩難下，始終不值得為了一部D4而死！ Kane就這樣放下了這部連著腳架的D4，而此刻，灰熊也終於停了下來，卻不是因為牠發現Kane不好吃，而是因為牠盯上了D4和腳架！
Kane在遠處看著灰熊整隻站起，一掌把他的愛機推跌，又對之上下其手，可謂欲哭無淚。不過，Kane也不愧是一個專業的攝影人，在這種命懸一線的情況下，他竟然還被這個奇異的畫面吸引，還能想起自己身上仍帶著D700和70-300VR，就這樣拿起相機拍攝！最後，Kane還是退去，回到了自己的車上，等待至一小時後才回到現場收拾。
D4和三腳架受到灰熊所襲，Kane卻無法看到其有沒有受損，因為它早已被泥巴所覆蓋，鏡頭前甚至有個熊鼻印。當Kane將之清理後，發覺D4除了電池蓋上有咬痕及遮光罩上有抓痕外，看起來竟然一切如常，經Kane測試，發現其運作絲毫無損，狀態完美！反之，腳架就沒有這樣的幸運了，不知是經過噬咬還是踐踏，即使是碳纖維所造也逃不過斷裂的命運。
事後，Kane事後慶幸自己判斷正確，未有勉強自己抬著D4穿過林木，不過D4本身竟然能抵受灰熊的猛攻，根本用不著Kane帶它逃亡，想必Kane也始料不及！此事件還讓Kane拍到一輯受世人熱捧的照片，真不知他應該為此事感到歡樂還是驚險呢！
"So, I just got my D4 yesterday. Attached it to the 600VR today here in yellowstone and went out shooting. I was hiking back into the woods after a coyote when I heard some teeth popping, and a growl. A grizzly stepped out of the brush about 35 feet from me. I started backing up with the tripod and camera over my shoulder as the bear continued to walk towards me. I got to a pile of logs that I was afraid I would trip over if I tried to lift the tripod over it. I thought to myself, screw it, the gear is insured and it's not worth dying for. I left the gear and backed up to about 75 yds. when the bear stopped to sniff the tripod. I had my D700 and 70-300VR over my shoulder so I started to shoot. What I saw before me made me want to cry. The bear stood up, pushed the tripod over with one paw, then proceded to gnaw on it and jump up and down on it. I left the area, went back to my car, waited an hour, then hiked back into the woods to retrieve what was left.
I got there and the gear was covered in mud, and slobber. The hoods were off of the 600, the padding on the tripod was ripped to shreds. I couldn't see if there was any damage to the gear, because it was so muddy. When I got back to the apartment, I looked at the front element and there was a perfect nose print on it. I cleaned everything up, and apart from a tooth mark on the battery cover of the D4, a few scratches to the lens hoods, and the knobs chewed off of the wimberly, everything seemed ok. The tripod, was not so lucky. I am not sure if it was a result of chewing, or stomping, but the carbon fiber was splintered and broken. I took some test shots with the camera and lens and everything is still in perfect focus and calibration. I cannot belive after a hard fall, and a mauling by a 500lb grizly, that everything still works.
The good thing was that I was ok, got out of there safe, and even though I had bear spray, I think Imade the right decision to leave the gear instead of risking trying to haul it out with me and fall down crossing logs.
And now, for the pics!
Hey, whats this?"
