Can anyone recommend a water proof bag that doesn't cost a lot for a colour run shoot?

Would you go anywhere near a colour run with 400mm, without protection?

I've got a Sony A1 to put in it, I could use a prime if zooming's a problem - size wise or just being unable to zoom.
 
The pictures I have seen of a colour run do not encourage me to put my camera gear anywhere near it!

Having said that an OpTech rainsleeve is cost almost disposable. I used one at sea & sand dust blown Donna Nook trip some years back and it did a very good job.......I did not bother to wash it but three it away. Another tog on the same trip had a hired Sigma 800mm and he wrapped to whole rig in taped down black bin liners AFAIK it worked.

Thanks, I wonder perhaps I want something with a hard plastic lens cover for the end

Maybe a waterproof/underwater compact like the Olympus Tough models. Once used underwater etc AFAIK they advise washing in clean fresh water.

Something like this, but perhaps with a bit more information about what fits and from a UK stockist who can get it to me before Thursday next week :)

I must confess that I didn’t know what a colour run shoot was until Mr Google helped!

Looks especially risky for camera gear to say the least :oops: :$

Do please update this post, I’d love to hear how you get on (y)

it's for a school, and directly after the colour run i'm off around the school to photograph a talent show and outdoor cinema. Hopefully it'll brush off ok.

Its powder paint and therefore quite fine, but turns to paste if it gets wet. It can and does get everywhere so I would use some sort of cover. An optech rainsleeve can be taped to lens hood and is disposable. I'd use a filter on the front end as well as thats washable more easily than a front end. Your solution should be OK!
