[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 437461, member: 12257"] I've taken LOTS of shots on the beach over the last two summers, one with the D3100 (which isn't weather sealed), one with the D7100 (which IS weather sealed), and even though I usually went with the lens I intended to shoot with on camera, there were times I swapped on the fly. I made sure to NOT change lenses in a high wind area, and walked back to swap them inside the car when I could, but there were times it just wasn't possible, or convenient, so I was very careful. The results? Lots of pics I enjoy, no damage. The way I see it... I bought this camera to enable myself to fully capture the beauty of the world around me, save memories of some of my favorite moments, and all around have fun. If I'm so worried about where I can and can't shoot, or am so fearful that I can't shoot one of the habitats (beach) that I love more than anything, well... that's just crazy talk. I didn't get into this art for the "Olan Mills" side of things. To me, that's kind of like saying "Those motorcycles are cool, just don't get 'em on the highway because it's dangerous!" POPPYCOCK! CLAPTRAP! BALDERDASH! HOGWASH! BUSHWA! TOMMYROT! (and other applicable synonyms!) I'm going back down to Florida this year, and ND filters are definitely on my list as well! [/QUOTE]
