Road Trip for Great Photos - What do you Suggest?

My reason for replying is Brendan's statement concerning the 17-55 IS; "Just make sure It stays clean ~ dust is its biggest weakness."

Hi Bill,


Thank you so much for your comments...I hope all pans out well for this trip! As far as the dust issue, I have heard so much about that being a problem, it was very reassuring to hear your response regarding it. I was hesitant in purchasing only due to thisproblem I keep reading about. I figure it won't be a huge problem for me since I am not in a major dusty area ...unless I neglect the housework because I'm too busy shooting pics! [:P] Otherwise, I will treat it as I do my other lenses, put a filter on it right out of the box and keep it capped in a bag when not in use and hope for the best!

Thanks again,
Denise

Badlands, Wyoming, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Blackhills and finish with the Tetons and Yellowstone.


Did this in the winter a few years ago when I helped my brother move to Va from Oregon, also hit Glacier on the way from OR.
