Van Atta Sat, 14 Jul 2007 17:26:04 +0000 #comment-656591 I live near the beach in Gulfport, MS. I make many photos there, on the barrier islands, and in the backwaters. For protection from rain, salt spray, and blowing sand, I have used heavy freezer bags but find them to be clumsy. A better solution for me is the more pliable clear plastic bagthe protects my Sunday paper. This bag is large enough and long enough to accommodate my tele-zoom lens and camera (Konic-Minolta 7D). I use masking tape to seal the bag to lens hood and, with one end of the bag cut open, have access to controls as necessary. I like your idea of using skylight filters to afford further protection for the lens- In my case, blowing sand and salt spray warrant this additional precaution- Thank you!
