  • Why not use one. you attach it to the lens with a rubber band.

  • @leiefilm If you use one bag, it would not be as easy to turn the zoom on the lens. I guess it would work OK if you are shooting with a prime lens. Rubber band would not hold it strong enough, but the filter tread method I show in the video is just fine.

  • i found using 1 thick one works just fine. and also the thick ones work ABSOLUTELY AMAZING as a pop up flash diffuser

  • @cookiepwnsU

    I found that if you use one, you would not as easily be able to put your hand under the bag to zoom the lens. If you are using a prime lens, you would not need to zoom it, so one would work great.

  • The 7D and K-5/7 have excellent weather sealing, just as good as Canon's top of the line 1D. Any assertions to the contrary is pure speculation based on cost. People think just because a camera is $6000 it HAS to be better in weather sealing. Not true. Your paying 6K for FF and all the other goodies.

    Weather sealing is weather sealing. It's not rocket science to implement. There are plenty of photo on the net showing the 7d in the harshest conditions.

  • @profroopchan ye, i just use a big bag, also a note. if using as a flash diffuser don't use it in big bursts or you'll get the bag to incinerate a little

  • Pentax cameras K10D, K20D, K200D, K7 and new K5 with DA* or WR lenses can withstand any weather on earth without any problem.. mine K20D with DA18-55WR got 1.5h rainstorm with heavy downpour while shooting flashes on sky and no moisture got inside.

    MF 645D with DFA*55 lens is also sealed on same level..

    Also Olympus E-1/E3/E5 are sealed with SWD lenses like 12-60..

    Canikon sucks.. only Canon 1D/Ds and Nikon D3/3x are weather resistant with guarantee. Other models do not.
