I went to Africa on a photo-shoot with a group of artist friends, and took twin cameras (Pentax K10-D) with a pair of twin lenses (2 X 70-300mm, and 2 x 18-55mm), wrapped the camera bodies and lenses in plastic baggies, sealed as well as possible, and did the same for the lenses (obviously with openings for the appropriates places
, kept them in sealed baggies unless in use, and tried to keep them in as clean an environment as possible, if I had to switch lenses. The sand in Africa is so super fine that it gets into EVERYTHING, and I couldn't afford to have something break down and have nothing to shoot with. I'm glad I did this because I had one body gum up, and also one lense, but I was covered. I took thousands of photos, and many of those are spectacular - the one I posted here is "cute" - we walked with a yearling elephant calf and got some incredible photos. All of the tricks and tips in the world are no good if your camera outfit isn't working.
