you just mist an article on pho tooo.com with an astronaut telling what lens cameras and exp they use it was on for about 45 mins .
Wow, I've got to say - I'm amazed at how far off topic this thread has come...only a couple of "answers" offered are actually answering the OP's question, the rest is just BS.
And, @Fotoartist, Nikon used to advertise how NASA selected their gear for space flights - my guess is in this day and age that's not a big marketing plus for most folks.
