My wife and I are going to a hockey game, and we have seats that are about six rows off the ice. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to take my K10D and Sigma 70-300 for a spin. I called the arena to make sure that there wouldn't be any "issues," and told them this was strictly amateur, hobby photography. I was informed that while P&S cameras were fine, cameras with interchangeable lenses generally were not. Then the guy asked me how big my lens was.
His suggestion was to bring the camera and they would tell me at the gate if I could bring it in. If I couldn't, they would let me check it there (ya right), or take it back to my car (ya right again).
Anyone else had problems like this?
