Yes, that didn't set to well with me.  Makes buying a $5,000 lens really
reassuring.

I'm not so sure it would be a training film done outside a clean room.
Taking a camera in a clean room can be a trivial feat if it is prepared
for.
My suspicion is this, or any video, would have been done with the best
techniques and methods available to highlight their strengths.  This video
did the opposite.  It is what we don't see that worries me.  For all we
know
the tech could be salivating and dropping rice from her mouth over the
lens.
Maybe a good sneeze?
