I'm not necessarily objecting to the rule, just trying to understand it. I was wondering if my 18-300mm would fit into their "professional" category and, based on what you all are saying, it does.
Most likely ANY lens that fits onto a DSLR or MILC would qualify. Unauthorized image publication has become a problem for these "rights" based artists. On top of file sharing etc.I can see their point.
FOllow the rules, use a bridge if you must and enjoy the show.
