steffi Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 I'll be carrying my camera near water soon in my backpack and I want it protected in case it or I drop in the sea. Can anybody suggest where I can buy bigger zip lock bags than those that are available in the red box at Foodland and Tops? I need one that can hold an SLR with grip with medium sized lens attached. Preferably the kind with the sliding fastener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Steffi, why not go whole hog, visit a camera supply store and invest in a water-proof cover for your outfit? It would be more durable and dependable than Zip-lok bags and if you go top-of-the-line you can do underwater photography at shallow depths. Just a thought.

Old Hippie Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 I was going to suggest the same. I would also reccomend a camping store, the boating section should also offer so options. If you are interested, Minolta make a camera that works above water and under to about 130 feet (cost about $350usd). Many manufactureres make "splash proof" cameras starting at around $80 and up, maybe a better option in extreame conditions.You can also get disposable h2o proof cameras for around $10usd at almost any drug store in the USA, I also saw some at a small camera store on Sukhumvit last may. Scuba shops also offer various size plastic bags. [ November 04, 2001: Message edited by: Old hippie ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Petchburi Pete Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 I believe I saw them in Lotus. They have pretty much everything. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
