No. Listen, it's a mans game...and you can't play. And it's not because you are potentially white, Larry's white. You can't jump. It's over, it's done with, you can't play. :grin:

I remember that last year they wouldn't let people come in with the big ones. I think if the lens is bigger then 4 inches you cant bring it in.
I do believe the limit is no lenses over 4 inches long (whether a permanent zoom lens that's part of the camera or a detachable lens). One of the ways I've worked out to get in under the limit (and I know this isn't practical for everyone, but just letting you know what I do), is that I use a kind of higher-end Canon point-and-shoot camera that can accommodate attachable teleconverters. Part of my living is professional photography, but for a lot of my personal use I have a Canon G9 and Canon G10 compact/point-and-shoot. There's a teleconverter attachment for those called a TC-DC58C that's exactly 4 inches long and does not violate the lens restrictions for Toyota Center. I use the same thing at Hoffeinz for Cougar basketball. On the camera body, I have a lens adapter and the 4-inch teleconverter attaches to the camera via the adapter. I keep the camera and lens separate in a small camera bag and don't attach the lens until after I'm in my seat, and I've always been able to get this rig into the arenas where I've attended games, including a game last year at Toyota Center. At Toyota Center, they people at the gate did measure the lens to see if it met the restrictions, so there was no sneaking it past...but it did pass the test for entry. With this rig, and shooting from a suite pretty high up in Toyota Center (thanks again, Dave2000), I could get shots like this one (this being taken from the opposite end of the floor, up from the opposite basket, roughly): And others like on this page: Rockets vs Hornets Except for the shots showing the inside of the suite, and wide shots of the Toyota Center interior, anything you see in these as floor-level shots were taken via the teleconverter lens from up in the suite (a fair distance from the floor action).
