Bringing camera / lens to game.

[Scotttyd]

I have a "nice" camera. I read on the site lenses 6 inches or more are not allowed. My 300mm lenses is exactly 6 inches (give or take where you measure it). Is it beat to leave at home or is this not something they enforce unless it is an obviously big zoom lens?

Six inches really isn't that long.

There is a bad joke there. BUT the website says 6 inches or longer is prohibited

I can't bring any of my long glass because of the rule so all my DSLRs stay at home. My answer was to purchase a point and shoot w/ a 30x "super zoom". That's a 24-720mm equivalent. W/ the zoom retracted all the way the entire camera is about 6" from the back to the lens cap and I just sling it over my shoulder and walk right in. As an added bonus the thing lets you shoot 1080p/30 simultaneously w/ 16mp stills. And if you are picky, it does raw files as well.

I'm attaching a couple pix - Boilermaker Joe is about to get hit with a snowball coming in from the right in the first and Josey Jewell is watching his gap in the second. Both were taken from the same spot. I had to scale them @ 40% to meet the filesize limit here .
