Bought a somewhat weird thing for my camera a while ago and have waited for the right weather before I could use it. It is a water protection bag for the camera. There is a photo of the bag on my instagram. It looks a bit weird, doesn´t it?
Well, this weekend when my friends where here I tried it out in Torrvarpen, the lake next to the town where I live. I would say that it is probably better to by the original thing. This was a five dollar bag from a low price site, and well, the real deal is guaranteed better. First of all, it doesn´t really fit my cam and second, the photos come out a bit distorted. Well, on the beach you can of couse (as I did) use it for you advantage. But I had to go full auto (when closed not possible to change settings) and only my small lens that doesn´t work great on auto fit in the bag so there you have my problem.
But, I will certainly play with it some more and it is a plus to have sand and water protection when slacking on the beach with the expensive cam. So worth the five dollars? I would say yes. At least I can put the camera in the water safely for photos.

Sommar sommar sommar. 🙂
Verkligen 🙂
It is not ”a bit” weird-looking, Katarina, it is VERY VERY weird-looking !!! In fact it looks like something out of Loch Ness ! 😀
But if it does the trick, then why not ?
Hahaha 🙂 that was a very good name for it. It is a plastic bag really, not much more. 🙂 how u doing in Australia?
Becoming anxious about next summer: we’ve had the warmest and driest July in many, many years, and it doesn’t augur well …
But there: I hate the summer so much that I waste time worrying about it ! Silly old fart …
Haha. Here it is the best summer ever 🙂 There is some thunder and forest fires.. But I love it. Today it is poring down. I’m in a cab on my way to work in Nora. The old cute town I shown on some photos.
Looking forward to them …
Haha. You live in Sydney! I live in the forest.
Which is why I look forward to them. 🙂
