Unless you got a very nice spot, better just enjoy the show instead of trying to snap some photos.
If I were you, I'd take only one camera and a 50mm lens, and some cash for beers

really? i was thinking of bringing the 70-200 in.. i thought anything above 300 is not allowed instead? :think:
Hmm, Ben brought in an FA300/4.5 w/o any problem, I myself brought a DA*50135 and nobody asked. Maybe we look like nice guys so they didn't bother us
Good luck and enjoy the show
Yeah, was there last year for the final, but didn't get a good spot to shoot. All I could see was this:
But I did manage to take a few shots when I raised the camera above head and pan w/o looking at it:

Hope this help you and also mine.

Huh really? I remember seeing alot of ppl bringing DSLR with extra big lens walking around.. :think:
Yup bring it along ..
there was an old post while we were discussing about taking pictures during F1 in Singapore. You may have a look at there.http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5967100#post5967100
It has the photos Fengwei took before which is shown here..
Best day to take pictures is Friday or Sat where the crowd is still that crowded. Actual day, sit down and enjoy the race man.

Because they saw it was a Pentax and thus incapable of taking pro-looking pics since everyone knows that Pentax is not known for sports photography. Kinda like how PnS are allowed into concerts and not DSLR. :bsmilie:
i will go on sat to try luck...
someone have free ticket and invite me to go...
holy man go which day?

Exactly, i would relax myself to enjoy the show....
Photos taken with K-x and Sigma 18-200 lens. Day shots with ISO 100-400. Night shots with ISO 3200-6400. My Frens using canon and Nikon with normal zoom lens are all salivating when the see the photos. Haha...
