| Jul 29, 2012 at 15:05 | comment | added | user2719 | The rules are actually remarkably clear compared to most events which forbid "professional-type cameras" (which leaves a lot to the individual security guards' interpretation): the camera kit basically has to fit into a box 20x20x30cm (about 8x8x12"). That will allow 300mm/2.8 or 400mm/4 lenses with a teleconverter (provided any other lens(es) you bring can also fit in the box along with your body). The restriction is entirely safety-related for a change; they just don't want you using anything you can smack a fellow spectator with accidentally. | |
