Dear Greg Kihn,
I was planning to attend the KFOX Summer Send-off Concert at Shoreline, as I do all your KFOX special concerts. One of your announcers recommended reviewing the venue rules, where I noticed that “NO Professional Cameras
**This includes Sm, Med or Lrg Detachable Lenses**” are allowed.
I enjoy practising my amateur photo skills with my Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras, and use them at other KFOX events with no problems so far. Not allowing DSLRs is really venue mgmt. attempting to restrict high quality photos to designated press pass holders, not a safety requirement.
Please have Shoreline reconsider their policy for your next event for next year. Amend the lens policy for this show to be fair to most amateurs with this clause: “cameras with hand-holdable detachable lenses are allowed for lenses 300mm/f4 or 70-200mm/f2.8 or smaller in size, no tripods.”
Thanks, James.
