No kidding. That looks like the new mark II version of the 70-200L f/2.8 as well (judging by the different thicknesses of the zoom and focus rings). I guess that's why you need insurance.

It would-be interesting to see how well it held up, with its "weather sealing".

Oops!! Made me laugh although I think it is every wedding photographer's worst nightmare. I hope he had backups!

Why didn't he stand 20-25ft back and use his zoom?

LOL, wow I couldn't help but laugh, but then I saw the 70-200 come up from under the water and my heart started aching.

That's what I was thinking. He could have stood at the pool the entire time and shot as they moved forward.

Or he could have have just went into the pool first and then shot from there, but that video would be far less entertaining :)

Oh snap!
While that must have sucked donkey balls for the photographer, I had a good laugh with that one.

Hope he had insurance...
