HI.. Just took your messages. Well to get in the arena. I had my digital camera, and my good old Pentax K1000 and my 200mm lens. I don't use a camera case when I go to a hockey game, I put those in my purse that looks like a small back pack. But the man at the door asked me to open it. On top,it was the digital camera, and then he saw the Pentax and then the lens. Inside of me, I panicked because in Sept the man at Bell Centre told me to give him my film.. The man at HSBC just asked me, is that all you have those cameras?? I said yes.. He said ok no problem, you can go... On Nov 8th, in Montreal, I used mostly my digital camera which even if the zoom is the equivalent of 320mm, it is not as huge and big as my 200mm lens that goes with my Pentax!! And at that game, I was in the first row.. Thank goodness for the moment in Montreal they don't open the "purses&quot ;. In Ottawa, they let us take pictures of pregame warm up as long as we don't take pictures during the game. But, if I didn't get caught on Nov 8th with the digital camera, on Feb 28, in Ottawa, I might be in the 6 first rows (for free), and the advantage of the digital camera is that it is small. But I much prefer my Pentax for actions shots.. I am still after 4 months "taming&quot ; the digital. My Nov 8 shots gave me confidence that I can do it.. Hey.. I have had that relationship with my Pentax since Nov 81!!!! TTYL
