Real shooters don't need no stinkin changing bag ! ;+]
I just did 10 days shooting in S.E. Utah (mostly high desert like environ)
with my K20D and followed the same procedure I used all my life when
changing lenses on SLR bodies. It was an unusual time there as we had winds
most of the time with some as high as 50 + mph.
I'm as quick as I can be with the swap - keep the body pointed downward
(dirt can't fall up into the body), keep caps on lenses til the last moment
before attaching to the camera body and keep lens & body as close as
possible immediately before the swap. I also exercised the dust removal
feature of the K20D several times over the 10 days.

Subject: Kind of like a clear changing bag for DSLRs
If I can, I'd like to go back to burning man this year. It has some
amazing photographic opportunities (Larry Harvey's megalomania
notwithstanding), but the environment is hellish dusty. Changing lenses
could be a real problem. One of the items in my pile o'stuff is my
changing bag from my old film developing days. It seems that something
like that would be great for changing lenses on DSLRs in harsh
environments. Put the camera in the bag, zip it up, put your hands
through the sleeves and you've got a lot less dust floating around when
you change lenses.
Of course, a changing bag is designed such that it is rather tough to see
what you're doing.
So, does anyone know of clear changing bags, for changing lenses in dusty
environments?
