I've not heard of this product but I did see a product in an English photo
magazine (I forget when and where) that had a circular glass window in a
plastic bag. The idea was to place the camera in the bag and operate the
shutter button through the bag. Seemed like a good idea if a bit clumsy
(and what about raindrops on the glass window?).
One thing I always wondered about though. What good are cameras with
moisture and dust seals (eg LX, MZ-S) when the lenses then become the weak
link? Or are the more upmarket pentax lenses weather sealed to some extent
to match the professional cameras?
