Dr. Blacktape Suggests...

Bring a roll of Black Tape to the first session. Inspect each student's 
camera and use the Black Tape to turn each of the Zooms into a 50 or 35 for 
the three days. Additionally, turn all the function switches to Manual and 
then place a piece of Black Tape over the switches.

You will have given them all manual cameras with nothing but "prime" 
lenses. And you will have struck a blow for Dr. Blacktape and his faithful 
companion, Tootsie.. ;-)
