The bb I got it off doesn't show the whole link. That is what the three

too early in the morning for me to crunch this but as impressed with the
camera as I will be, I'm going to be even more impressed by the lens this
guy is going to need!
some thoughts..
let's see - he's proposing 1/1000 of a second to avoid movement - and the
rig is portable so I'm assuming he plans on using it in semi-lit /outdoor
settings (hopefully without incinerating the subject) .. the 3+ stops
he'll gain over daylight is going to require a fair thump of light
I'd guess if his proposed shutter speed is 1/1000 of a second I'm also going
to be highly impressed by the shutter!
It's suggested in the article and accompanying images that he'll effectively
be producing something like 9:1 (or greater) macro shots of faces - that's
going to cause a serious reduction in light and require on heck of a fast
lens! (and subsequent reduction in DoF)
to be honest I'd think the risk of fouling a shot being so expensive he'd be
better going the other way and allowing for much longer exposures, that way
a minor facial flicker or a blink might be a fraction of the full duration
of the exposure and would be a mere ghost in the image
