Sounds crazy. Are straight telephotos okay? Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has proposed legislation that says photographers have to stay at least 15 feet from celebrities and they cannot use zoom lenses. It's more complex than that, but this is the part that shows how stupid about photography some legislators are who think they can regulate our profession. Of course, it's unconstitutional, and misses the point that telephotos are what they really don't want, but don't tell them! :-) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch If there's one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance.
