It is like a sponge for moisture. Set it on something wet and watch what happens. I have a Billingham large bag which I love for the feel and the protection, but the inserts are too small for AF lenses and it is a major pain to get all the buckles and zips and flaps open to use it. It is not for working out of. Too bad, because nicely made. I may have to go back to a Domke. I just threw one away when I moved from the studio that had been on assignments with me for 20 years. It looked more weathered than I do. I wish Lowepro would make a real waterproof bag with gortex or something. Then it would be great. Perhaps a Tenba bag is next. Designed by a photojournalist, they should be good to work out of, not just for looking good. Like camera systems, most manufacturers get much right and much wrong. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
