Super weird question I know, but been wondering about this and thought if anyone else experienced the same.
This summer I went on a road trip through a couple of countries in Europe. Especially when I was in Italy, my MK III got a lot of wasp interest... I love the camera too.. but seriously, give it some space.. At times I couldn't shoot anything cause I'd have 2-3 wasps walking all over the camera.. I tried cleaning the camera, maybe some fat from my fingers had stuck to the camera, but it didn't make any difference.. Seemed like everytime I pulled the camera out, wasps would start flying around the camera and then land on it and walk around it..
Anyone else tried this? Is it the colour of the camera? Electrical brain wave signals? Maybe just some smell stuck to it?
Had Canon 24-70 mm 2.8 on most of the time and Røde Video Mic.
Thought I'd ask as I am looking at footage from summer and remembering places where my camera was wasped.
Did you have Magic Lantern installed? Lanterns often attract insects...

Been a long time where I haven't laughed in a sense where it's almost unfathomable and yet it's pretty hilarious!
Lanterns do in fact attract wasp so it may be best not to use ML in certain areas? ;)
