Yes

You can't get close enough to the fence unless you take off the 
lenscap, which I don't advise.  I tried shooting through a chain link 
fence and ended up with blurred images of fence parts in each view, 
even though the lenses were centered in the fence openings.  
I solved the problem by hooking the neck strap to the top of the 
fence, tossing the camera over the fence, sticking my nose through 
the fence so I could peer through the viewfinder, sticking a looooong 
finger through the fence to trigger the shot, then trying to retrieve 
the camera so I could wind to the next shot and try again.  It works.
