  Hi John , this is a tricky one is it not, every site has an idividual set up so one rule may not apply to all. I have had plenty of shots with the darn fence getting in the way, but I have had some that have worked as well. POE pics id nos. 1113347 and 1114339 were taken at Isle of Wight Zoo and the fence had a section in a bay window format that was all glass and shooting through this glass was very good and without too much in the way of reflection. POE pic id no.1119564 was shot through a chain link fence with the lens poking through , using a bridge camera ( like the FZ-45 ) this was quite easy but probably not be an option with one of the more ferocious animals. I have not tried the putting the fence out of focus treatment, I have always found manual focus on bridge cameras to fiddly and not been to a zoo recently with a much easier to use manual focus that is on the dslrs. Another help is some places landscape allows a higher vantage point so one can shoot downwards over the fence and into the enclosure, just need a good bit of zoom here and the FZ-45 is pretty good in that department. Life is a challenge is it not?

Here I think is a typical example---taken through a chain link fence about 2 metres in front of us and the wolf some 20 meters or so the other side of it. Basically, as large an aperture as your camera has and use its longest local lenght as far as practicable.  Thus here at F2.8 at an effective 300mm--though shorter focal lenghts were also working ok too, as F2.8 was the key to getting rid of the fence.
