#1 is an Invert Mini, definitely.

Ya, paintball can be painful on photo equipment and your body (as a player, ref, and sometimes photographer). So much fun though.

Is there anyway to get something to protect your lense while taking paintball photos? I take alot of paitball photos, never have been hit in the lense YET. I just want something that will protect it if it gets hit ya knoww?

I've been asked to cover paintball events. I wasn't sure if I would or not until now.

haha i doubt your right by the action or going for the better shots. Or by Alot of photos do you mean like 200 for the day? lol hahah
That day i took about 2500 pictures. Plus i usually inside the netting and about 10 feet away from some players.

Sadly i have found the only thing to protect your Glass part of your lens is a filter. its not much but whatever... Life goes on. Also put your Hood on your camera too, not only for helping photos but giving some more protection. That way it pretty much has to be a Direct Straight shot to the lens. Which is rare... Well except for Gary haha...

Well I always use a lens hood, it good for those bank shots that would otherwise completely miss the lens :o…But seriously since I always use two bodies as I kneel the hood keeps the lens out of the dirt on the body I am not using. I also use blue painter’s tape to keep from losing or breaking the lens hood
