Sydney Motor Show - DSLR's allowed?

Postby dviv on Fri Oct 12, 2007 12:25 pm

Has anybody tried to take a DSLR into the motor show?

I just thought I'd ask considering the alarm and despondency it caused with security when I took mine to the rugby.

Thanks

Dave,

I've never had an issue with bringing SLRs of any type (D or F) into motor shows, both here, and in Melbourne, which is a far better show than any of the Sydney ones of late have been.

300 f2.8

It's not how you use it, it's about the size! :P
