I think the only possible problem - and it is very slight indeed - is from mites. Small bugs that can infest the material used to cover the foam padding. My sister's bloke has seen this is a LowePro before. They live in the bag and eventually infest the camera, often appearing on the focus screen so can actually be seen! The cure was to freeze the gear and blow the stiffs out. True! Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
