All the Hasselblad cameras, lenses, etc. were freely loaned to the participants. Personally, I borrowed about $25K worth. But I digress..... So we are crossing a bridge over a green pond, taking pictures along the way. Behind me was another participant, that was pretty new to the $20K in equipment he had around his neck. I was busy taking images, when.....I heard ... plunk! Looked to my right, where the Hasselblad was not all together....... Luckily for him it was only the $425 battery for the digital back......not the $10K back, $3k body, or $7K lens...... It fell in, and the water was so dirty we could not see it. We left it there.....
