[QUOTE="skater, post: 247175, member: 19158"] Yeah, but I also want to be careful. There are a couple issues: 1. That lens won't fit in the small bag we just bought for going to games (I know, this is a silly reason, but really there's not a lot of room in the seats, so smaller is better). 2. The other thing that concerns me is that I don't want to accidentally instigate a banning. For example, the Hershey Bears website said, until a year or two ago, "No cameras with detachable lenses." Other AHL teams [URL="http://www.okcbarons.com/index.cfm?fa=PressReleases&ra=showarticle&guid=77C8FC9B-93A6-49F6-8BF3-29ABB77868C7"]still have that ban.[/URL] Honda Center (home of the Ducks) bans cameras [URL="http://www.hondacenter.com/HondaCenter.aspx?page=BuildingPolicies.aspx"]with lenses over 6" long.[/URL] The Joe considers any camera with [URL="http://redwings.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=69245"]more than an 80mm lens professional,[/URL] and bans them. The Caps [URL="http://capitals.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=56918"]leave it vague.[/URL] (On the other hand, the Blue Jackets [URL="http://www.nationwidearena.com/arena/guestservices.php"]specifically allow professional cameras.[/URL] Innnteresting.) We can laugh at those rules all we want, but in the end, those are the rules set by the teams, and they don't have to admit us to the game if we don't agree to them. So, I don't want to be the one that takes things too far and gets all SLRs banned or something like that. This would impact dozens of people at Verizon with SLRs doing the same thing I do. A ban could also impact my wife's sister, who has a 5100 and takes pics at every home game for one AHL team - an arena that just started allowing SLRs recently. That's my real concern about the lens you suggested. I'll continue playing with the 55-200, though. We have another game tonight and that's the lens I brought. :) [/QUOTE]
