It's a pretty good rule. A couple of weekends ago, I attended a daughter's graduation ceremony in Bowling Green, Kentucky. There was a small area reserved for the professional event and news photographers, including TV coverage. It took credentials to get into that area and I didn't have the right ones. There were more Canons than Nikons but I didn't see any other brands of cameras. I shot a picture of one of the photogs there who was shooting a picture of me. I guess he never saw anyone using a PZ-1p with a FA*85 f/1.4 before.
