Have you ever gotten caught in the rain with your camera gear? What about a particularly dusty place, or somewhere that makes you worry about your gear getting splashed? Here's a handy tip. I stash a clear garbage bag in my camera bag, plus a roll of waterproof tape. They take up very little room, and cost next-to-nothing, but can save your gear in a pinch. Just enclose your slr in the garbage bag, so the end of the lens is sticking out of the opening in the bag. Run a strip of the tape around the lens (ideally, on the lens hood), so the bag stays put and is sealed. Voila! Instant protection. and because the bag is clear, you can still use your camera.
If you've got a point-and-shoot, then a ziploc bag can do the trick, too, and you won't need the tape.
