Northern Canada is beautiful and wild country. My travels there have been mainly by canoe. But if you are there at the right time (or should I say the wrong time) biting insects, especially mosquitoes and black flies, will be out in "Biblical plague proportions". Fortunately biting insects don't bother me much either physically or psychologically. On the Hood River (starts on the arctic circle and drains into the Arctic Ocean), there were times when it was difficult to change the lens on my 35mm SLR - once I trapped a moquitoe between the lens and the mirror. The only time the bugs weren't a problem was when the wind was blowing, and that has it's own set of problems for LF. This summer I'd like to take my 8x10 up north. So my question: I'm looking for advice on keeping the bugs out an 8x10. I foresee multiple bugs trapped in the bellows and crawling on my film at the time of exposure. Thanks.
