"Scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7"

MKBHD: Soooo... I've been testing this dope lens for a week...
-
That is really cool. Wish I had that lens for my camera
-
04:46 This lens is so big, it has its own emergency exit
-
"Sensors work at -100°C - oh very cool"
-
I like how physics girl always find another physics girl to talk about physics.
-
You want to find a life partner who looks at You the way Diana looks at that mirror!
-
I love the enthusiasm this young lady comes across with-- you just just to smile through all her videos-- can you imagine how hard it must have been to be her physics teacher. Looking at you with those eyes, one million urgent questions every lesson :)
-
I wish you talked more about how the lenses are built and how they are going to overcome distortions from lens weights.
-
"We're going to collect more data in the first year than had ever been collected with telescopes." ..... What? That statement is a lot to take in.
-
"The cover is sliding along vertical poles, so that it doesn't swing and accidentally bump the lenses" 2:41 shows footage of a swinging cover.
-
Love the energy of the girl you interviewed! she has some incredible facts about the camera and excited to share those facts.
-
Imagion the fire you could light with that!!
-
There's something weird about seeing a state-of-the-art digital camera worth $20 million being moved by a forklift that looks like it came off the assembly line around the time M*A*S*H was getting popular. Shouldn't they have a Jedi Knight or something on standby for tasks like that?
-
3:08 Does that mean that we could see lunar rovers?
-
I love how Diana is so smart and knows a lot of stuff and yet she's so humble and down to earth ❤
-
Love seeing the energy and excitement of the project turn scientists back into kids full of joy and wonder. Also glad that Ginormous is a scientifically accepted unit of measure.
-
I love how passionate those scientists are.
-
"Now imagine you're looking for a cougar." I don't have to imagine...

4:36 Who else noticed the mirror?
