Ok, that's not even funny.. How did you get that shot of my studio? Adding those lame watermarks don't make it Vince's! And by the way, that is my studio during the Olympics, so the best of my gear is obviously with me in Beijing.

Does anyone know for certain if it's actually all his?

None is rented or leased or belongs to the publication for which he's shooting?

I have no idea, but that isn't really that much stuff to have if you are succesfull and do it as your profession.
There's 6 bodies and sometimes pro's have two second shooters doing work with their gear, and about those lenses.. Well, for six bodies that is the least you can have

Now that i think about it,.. i am a little worried if he has enough gear to pull of the harder jobs LOL

The RAID array he has behind glass there....that's a lot of storage!

I am all about computers, but come oon!

RAID's just arent that interesting, it's just cloned space -> LOOK AT THOSE LENSES
