N/t

Hi Joe,

I'm turning 73 in May and essentially pretty uncool. So I haven't got a clue what N/t means. Could I ask you for a clarification pls?

Thanks,
Rudy

If you can make videos like this you are totally cool in my book (I am in my 50-s).

N/t means "No Text". My whole question was in the subject ("What did you use to protect it from the snow?") but forum won't allow to leave the body of the message empty so people here often put N/T.

Ah... OK, got it! And thanks for your remark... I'll need to tell my wife that someone on the Canon forum thinks I'm cool! LOL.

Anyways, to your question.... On this occasion I didn't use anything to protect my camera or the lens from the snow because it was so cold that the snow was not sticking to them or melting on them.

I always carry a clothe towel in my camera bag to cover my camera and lens when it rains or there's wet snow. I never allow my gear to just get hammered by precipitation and when I do have to expose it to those elements during shooting times I quickly wipe off both the camera and lens with another little dry clothe I have in my bag. I also always wipe dry my lens barrel before zooming it back in. Finally, when I get home after such an outing I carefully dry everything with a clothe then I zoom out the barrel, remove the battery and memory cards and leave their doors open, remove the lens hood and then leave the entire kit like that overnight to dry completely,

I know I might sound a little obsessive about this, but I've never spent $10,000 Canadian on a camera and lens before and never thought I ever would.

Rudy
