Turkey: visa and photography

Am I correct that a tourist visa is issued on entry
for $20 U.S.?

What about this at the Turkish Embassy site?
Am I correct that it does *not* refer to a tourist
carrying his camera?

Research Visas and Filming & Photographing Visas
Applications should be made through the Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C. at
least TWO (2) MONTHS before the date. All properly completed applications are
processed as soon as possible and forwarded to Turkey to be reviewed. The
Turkish Embassy will inform the applicant of the outcome of his/her application.
However, due to the large volumes of applications, it may take TWO (2) to FOUR
(4) MONTHS for application process to be completed. Individuals whose
applications are approved are issued a visa valid for the period they had
specified on their application forms. Applicants who enter Turkey without the
relevant visa are not allowed to carry out research, film shooting or
photographing.
