Clear lens changing bag source

We all use those clear plastic bags for changing the lens on our Dslrs in
order to avoid dust on the sensors when in hostile environments, but anyone
know of a good brand for something that is just the right size???

Thanks, DP

Which "we all" are would that be? I've never done such a
thing, neither do I know anybody else who does. So my "we
all" think your "we all" are getting paranoid about dirty
sensors ;-)

Not only have I never done that, I've never *heard* of that. What "we"
is it that "all" does this? (DSLR since 2003)

Actually, I've used my old black changing bag to change lenses once with my
DSLR, when I was in the desert on a fairly windy day. Otherwise, I've never
heard of what Mr. Smith contends we all do.

Agreed. Wouldn't the bag fill up with the dust which is on the outside of
the lens? Then again, I've never had to change my lens in a sand storm. On a
typical windy day at the beach I just turn my back to the wind.

Sooo, because *you* don't know of anyone else who does it means that *no*
one else does it (insert smiley)???

You were the one that said "we all". So far nobody has even
heard of what you say "we all" do.

But "we all" did not say that nobody does it, just that "we
all" don't.

Ok (insert whatever) ?

I've never done it, nor know of anyone who does, nor heard of
it either. And I have photographed in dusty environments,
and I rarely have dust issues. For example, I've only
had to clean one sensor on two DSLRs this year, and that
was while on safari in Africa where it was fairly dusty
(and I changed lenses/teleconverters often).
And I quickly blew off the dust spot--took about a minute.

Good for you.
Just curious though, exactly how did you 'blow off" that dust spot?
