As a Fenerbahçe fan and a photographer, I can’t think of anything senseless than revolting because of a lost match, given the economic situation of the country where all the people are awkwardly silent. Condolences for the lenses, I’d also never brought those kind of materials to that day.

I’d like to be there when or if the dimwit finds out that the lens he threw was worth more than he probaly makes in a year.

It’s a sad state when people’s self worth are based on a football club …

As a photographer, the lens is a valuable investment and 10,000 USD is a lot.
I can only say great job for protecting your equipments.

//Results of the Saturday night soccer violence: 3 cameras broken, 10 lenses (including a 400mm tele) damaged or missing, a laptop broken, 10 photographers directly exposed to violence. Of course all of us got hit and affected by tear gas.//

Is that all? Were there no human casualties? Well, next time I would be looking if a 400mm telephoto is lost or not in violence-marred football match.

I would have just stolen it. It does look expensive.

Sounds almost as bad as covering the drug war in Mexico. Excellent photos.
