Funny to see a 6x7 camera section in his web site.
PJ's dont often venture into MF.

More important he will be shooting the Leica M8.2. Far better than a big noisy Canon 5DMkII for those quite thoughtful times in the Oval office.

"Souza currently works using Canon 5D's and he says that he hopes to upgrade to Canon 5D Mark II bodies soon, as well as Leica M8.2 bodies. He says the work of the Obama photography office will be mostly digital, but maybe sometimes film if needed. The White House photography office made the transition from film to digital photography during the George W. Bush administration."

A fine SS photographer and was the photographer for Reagan's 2nd term. A good choice, despite the fact that he may be using a Leica and Canon. :-)

Aaaw, I love the shot of Pres. Reagan and Nancy in this gallery, the Santa Clause suit... they were so sweet together. http://www.petesouza.com/gallery.htm...0a%20President

He's really, really good.

I never knew there was such a position as the official photographer until today. Live and learn I guess. His site splash page has some urber nice images.
