White lenses while travelling
Back in 2013 I went to Egypt. Upon arriving at the airport all shit broke loose when they looked in my camera bag and saw a white lens (70-200 f4) They immediately assumed because of my white lens I was a journalist and were ready to deport me back to where I came from. After tons of back and forth I had to pay them $500 to get through with my white lens.
Many of the tourist destinations we went to I was not permitted due to my white lens . I am currently wrapping my rf100-500 in black tape and bought a replacement hood and lens collar that are black to prepare for my next trip.
Has anyone had issues like this when travelling because their lens was white?
