bag policy.... one quick question

[xclr82xtc]

actually no.. i like to get picture of things other than the actual game play.. the teams reaction on the sideline.. the opposing coach looking pissed when hes losing with 2 minutes to go, little kids wide eyed on a 70 yard td score...  things that tell the story of the game.   you really miss very little of anything.. and you can still see the game through the view finder.

I think you can still store everything inside a pressure cooker.

you can do pretty good with a telephoto lense. at least thats been my experiance at nascar so far. I havent taken it to an nfl game yet so i wanna try it. But the damn things just to big to carry without a back pack.

 

Well, backpacks have been prohibited for a long time. Nothing new there.

If I was the guy sitting in front of someone with a big ass telephoto lens, I'd be pissed that they'd be hitting me in the head.  If I was behind them, I'd be pissed I had to look around it while I'm trying to enjoy the game.  No real winner here besides the guy with the camera.

From the uppers, I can zoom right onto that facial scab that stoic Ron constantly messes with.

Good luck capturing that with a 200-400 mm lens from the nosebleed seats. Being a (mediocre) amateur photographer myself, I speak with some knowledge.  That's why I decided to leave my camera (and pretty good Nikor lens) at home last Thursday and just enjoyed the game.

As a pro photog, and with TONS of experience shooting the Panthers, Zod is probably right, but the OP does have a point about sideline action, especially between snaps.  That said, try a non-extending tele zoom with IS, coupled with a 2X converter if need be.  For protection, check B & H Photo to see of they have a compatible body/lens combo case.  If not make your own with an off the shelf body case coupled with a compatible lens case customized via straps/snaps for attachment.

your setup doesn't sound like it could be described as small
