Clear lens changing bag source
John Smith wrote:
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 I don't think we all use plastic bags. Frankly I have never even heard of the idea and while I do take a little extra care when changing out lenses, I certainly don't worry about it. It seems to me that photographers worry far more about their equipment than about the product. I would rather have a great photo with a couple of dust particles showing than an good photo with zero dust. When I first entered photography in the late 50's I was too young to worry about such things. Today I am too old. I never became a great photographer, but it did help me support myself for many years and I had a lot of fun. -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit |

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 ;-) John Bean Sooo, because *you* don't know of anyone else who does it means that *no* one else does it (insert smiley)??? 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. Roger Photos at: http://www.clarkvision.com Good for you. Just curious though, exactly how did you 'blow off" that dust spot? Try a Gitzo rocket blower. I keep a small one in my bag all the time now, or on a long day, I put it in the bottom of my vest. |

Some will shoot perfect white paper review 16MP images at 100% on their computer and want every spec gone. I'm good enough with shooting the sky in any conditions at f/22 and view it only on the camera LCD. If I can see it on the LCD, I get out the rocket blower. If not, I am not worried about it. |

If not, I am not worried about it. Ever since I got a digital SLR, I've thought the whole dust on the sensor issue is overblown (no pun intended). I've had mine for three years, and have cleaned the sensor only twice. Even then, it was nothing that about 3 seconds in Photoshop couldn't have fixed. And I shoot a lot around sawdust and such. |
