I'll be using the 24-70. Better clarity and more flexibility for sure. I find I don't need 1.8 shooting at PP which is really nice.

I got a Nifty Fifty (50mm f/1.8) for Christmas
I plan on using it at PP. I also have a 70-200 telephoto that I used a few times getting some whole stage shots from the stairwell risers. That sucker is one heavy lens! I thought about getting the 24-70mm lens, but I know I wouldn't use it that often, not worth buying new or used.Are you going to use your trusty 50mm or the sexy 24-70mm f/2.8 L?
Apparently you just never asked me to do your pic. I've been hauling a 70-200L to PP for four or five years now (finally gave up and just bought one instead of renting, last year).
I'm easy to find, too, I'm the fat one with the 70-200L.

Apparently this change of policy is a bigger deal than I expected.
I was leaving the GA RenFaire on the last day and was talking to some metalheads in the parking lot, and naturally the topic swung around to PPUSA. I mentioned that Turisas had been added, making it 14 bands over 2 days, and one of them said "That's totally awesome! We'd get tickets, except for that silly camera policy they have!"
"Digital cameras ARE allowed now. The rule was changed about two days ago!"
"!!!!!!!"
"We'll get tickets when we get our next paychecks!"

A LOT of people complained a LOT about it, even at the fest. Walking around with a camera last year, I was stopped no less than 20 times each night and was told what a "dickish policy" it was by each person, and how it was "unfair" that I had to "pay for the privilege of being able to take pictures". There's really only so many times you can kind of defend the policy before getting sick of it and saying "yah man, you're totally right, brb getting free beer and a spot in front of the barrier for Sabaton."

I figured this would be a good thing WRT ticket sales. Glenn had to do what he had to IMHO. Either way, its done and hopefully he can get more people at the show.

Woo so excited about this. I didn't have the extra cash to buy a decent film camera and I hate the lack of control on disposable cameras so I'm very happy about the new policy.

Policy recap and preview of policy poster verbiage:
Pre-emptive clarifications:
- Limitations on equipment and bags are relaxed for sponsors, but be aware that you don't have any place to securely stow camera bags, and tripods and monopods are still not permitted.
- High-power external flash units add to the bulk of the camera and obstruct view from behind you (and annoy the artists and audience if used improperly)
- Use of built-in flashes is fine
- Video recording in the lobby areas is fine.
