Kuwait bans DLSRs...

Postby Justin on Wed Nov 24, 2010 10:45 am

I just picked this up on gizmodo...

http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/11/kuwai ... r-cameras/

"Kuwait is believed to have banned the public from using DSLR cameras in public. Members of the press are still allowed to use them, apparently"

You can still take that gazillion pixel compact with inbuilt HDR and x-ray vision though!

Interesting though, they hosted one of those premium light seminars. All the lighting punks such as DH, Jarvis and JoeyL went I think? :?
