Dust covers for Zoom lens

[bettskeith]

Does anyone have any advice/recommendations on dust covers for a sigma 50-500?

I am off to Kenya soon and trying to work out the best way to protect the lens from the dust, I will be taking 2 camera’s and don’t plan on removing the lens from the body I also have a large microfiber cloth and will keep it covered as much as possible but is there anything else I can do or should think about?

Thanks

Try draping a towel over the camera and lens when you're carrying them and only remove it to take the photograph. Worked for me in tiger reserves in India.

I didn't do anything to protect the bridge camera I was using in the Tsavo reserves a few years ago and it's still got red-brown nooks and crannies around the body!

I was planning to keep it covered as much as possible but was hoping to find some sort of cover that fitted to the lens without interfering with its usability.

I am probably worrying about it to much, I am sure I can keep it clean by not taking it out of the bag but that would spoil the point of buying it!
