He seemed to have little interest in the technical details of the lenses, bodies, and all. He commented that he went through quite a few bodies because he'd leave them out on a tripod in sometimes rainy or windy weather at night. Once, I think he said he was doing some night photography and a cow knocked over the pod and he lost a camera body.
