1600: Air Show Ends
All it says in that screenshot is "long-lensed cameras" so I have no idea where you got "lenses longer than 200mm" from. In fact, there's nowhere on the website that specifically states a lens size. This could seriously be open for interpretation and I'm sure every attorney on the planet would agree.Nate_Burrows wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 9:59 pm An FYI to anyone who’s going and planning on taking their camera. The base is not allowing anyone with lenses longer than 200mm into the Airshow.
Base PAO has told many photographers who’ve emailed them about the issue that lenses larger than 200mm won’t be allowed. Base security issue.passedgas46 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 11:41 pmAll it says in that screenshot is "long-lensed cameras" so I have no idea where you got "lenses longer than 200mm" from.

Probably just security flexing their proverbial muscles. I've been to a few military shows over the past 35+ years where "big cameras" were not allowed in because they "looked like weapons." This was before cell phones had cameras...Nate_Burrows wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 11:59 pm
