Woman confuses cameras with machine guns and calls the police
(German only, but you could use Google translate):
https://www.n-tv.de/der_tag/Frau-hae...ruestung-fuer- Maschinengewehr-Grosseinsatz-am-Flughafen-article22408522.html Happened yesterday near Frankfurt airport and the result was a major police operation. The photographers were plane spotters. The police said that some of their lenses "were very long". Perhaps they were using full frame cameras, where tele lenses can sometimes be really big. -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

As Dave says, easy mistake. Back in the distant past (Vietnam war?) there was a press photographer whose final photograph shows the soldier with a rifle who not unreasonably mistook him for a sniper. |

In the mid 70s I bought a rifle grip for when using my 400mm f6.3 lens, I also used it for closeups as I could mount 2 flashguns on it. I still use a rifle grip with my EOS 7D and Sigma 50-500 at air shows. It originally had a mechanical shutter release which was used with a Pentax ME Super. I modified it to have an electrical release and also extended it to fit my arm more comfortably as I'm somewhat taller then average. -- Peter |
