How about a bullet-proof vest?

It's definitely not truly dust proof because mine has dust in the viewfinder. Of course the lower-cost WR lenses aren't as well sealed as the DA* lenses, so there's a potential problem spot.

You sir are a madman!

The DA* are rated dust proof but thats lens not lens + body, Oviously if you ever change a lens dust will get on the viewfinder, Sensor and every where else.
