The only lightweight lens that comes to mind would be the Canon 55-250. It won't be very convenient to use in a Dicapac bag.

I agree with the first reply, you may be better off with a superzoom camera that can get you 600mm or more equivalent in a much lighter package.

You are right - it will be impossible to get your fingers around the fat 55-250 lens once it is inside the Dicapac dry bag.

I am going to re-evaluate the bridge camera with a superzoom... I just looked at Powershot SX50HS. It says it has a 35mm film equivalent of  '24 (W) - 1200 (T) mm' .
