Thanks for your long answer. I shot the machine at the Stampe & Vertongen Museum in Antwerp. (If you search for Stampe, it will get you there). On their site, they gave a long story, with pics, of the V-1, but not a word on this one. I have no details on the manned V-1 at Wilrijk (it might be this one). The museum in Brussels has one hanging from the ceiling (for sure a replica) , and one on PV, which looks very authentic to me.

In Holland we have a manned version in the Army museum in Delft, but they put it on store recently. Before that they hung it under a stair so you could see anything of it, but couldn’t photograph it. BW Roger

Yeah, all digital.Kodak KDC-520C (Eos-1N) camera with 100-400L lens which is something like 160 -650 on this camera due to the 1.66 enlargement factor of the digital camera . BW Roger

I guess he is showing more than his finger! Here is another one

When I compare the 2 pics, the Antwerp example looks like a manned version to me! BW Roger

The grip is called BGE-30, and it is normally sold with a second batterie, and a 1GB CF. I buy only the grip, and have obtained the CF card(s) from that firm Damien mentioned. It is also possible at another store he named to buy batterie packs at a much lower price that the original Canon ones.

I can not advise you on the lens, as I only have the 2.8 (expensive) ones. I also have a Canon 100-400L which is also expensive but is great. I always buy my lenses second hand now, so maybe that is an advise. Bw Roger
