One lens challenge - does this include use of TCs?


You can stack as many TCs as you like for the 50mm One Lens Challenge in the zoo

NO TCs?

We should only allow zooms to be used in multiples of 1.4

My email to Taronga Zoo and their reply:

Hi Zane

Normally our group rates apply for 12 or more. However, If you are prepared to make a booking and pay in one lump sum on the day, we would be happy to offer you our group rate of $24.00 pp. If you decide to pay individually, the general admission of rate of $30.00 each would apply.

Bookings may be made via this email.

Regards

Terase

Hi

We are going to have a group of about 9 or 10 photographers. Can we possibly qualify for the group admission rate?

Thanks
Zane Yau

For your info:

Hi Zane,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. That's fine. I just needed to make sure that you were aware of our photographic policy in case you were thinking of selling the images.

Our Group Booking co-ordinator will get in touch with you shortly with some prices.

Kind regards,

Helen

Dear Zane,

Thank you for your inquiry in regards to group bookings rates for your first
to Taronga Zoo.

I just wanted to check the nature of your photographic visit. Are you from a
photographic club or on some photographic assignment? Any commercial
photography needs to be arranged through our Media Relations Department and
we have commercial photography fees, if you are intending to use the images
for any commercial purposes.

If you could let me know at your convenience that would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Helen

The one lens challenge sounds fun, count me in (again if i'm not working).. Ed, can the prize be your "entry-level" SLR instead?

Just about any of the free Sydney Tourist magazines has ~20% off coupons for the zoo. You can pick them up from the information center next to IMAX or the tourist booth next to Town Hall.

20% OFF general admission

I'm sorry for not being around of late gang as you know Anne is not well at all and I won't be up for the 31st I don't think as I have a fang farrier's appointment at long last (bloody beaurocracy) and will be in Kogarah on the 3rd Aug for maybe 3-4 days more F*&^ tests with Anne, I tell you she's is one tough cookie but it is even getting to her now but touch wood we might finally get some answer's.

Smelly PM me with your address again if you would, I'm a slack bugger I lost it.

Then no need for a group booking. Everyone print one out and use it on the day.
