I'm a sucker for spacewalk/EVA imagery. Also for logo designs.

The thing that I find cool about EVA images is it's such pure sharp high contrast. I wonder if their cameras these days are auto-focus.

That would not surprise me, although I'm not sure what ESA, NASA, CSA, Roskosmos, CNSA, etc. look for in their EVA-capable cameras right now.

All I remember is all the moon-landing cameras were Hasselblad, though I think Nikon were used for later orbital stuff.  I don't remember hearing what they're using on ISS.  I should look that up.

There's a list being compiled.
