These runs are becoming popular. Best to leave the good gear at home.

Better not to go... If it can do that to a lens, think about the what gets into your lungs. 🙁

That was what the last reply stated. There is another run stated around August. I'm not going.

Gonna go to one tomorrow...I think I will be taking an old P&S that I can afford to lose...I'm not running it but my wife and a bunch of friends are doing it...I don't plan on getting too near all the paint but I'm not going to put any of my good stuff at risk...

I'd use a Nikonos I could hose off afterwards.

Along with a Nikonos, wear a HEPA respirator.
