Donut Seal for Digital Cameras

As Homer Simpson might say, “mmmm, donuts.” But then we’d tell him that the Dust Donut isn’t meant to be eaten, even by a fictional cartoon character. Rather this is a way to help create a weatherproof seal for any DSLR lens.

Dust and moisture don’t play nice with that high end digital camera with the removable lens, but now you can use the Dust Donut to add a seal between the camera and lens. California-based photographer Tyler Sterbentz created the Dust Donut and is look to bring out it out via a Kickstarter project.

While this was designed for Canon EF lenses, there are versions in the works for other DSLR cameras as well. It is basically a rubber gasket that can attach to the mounting surface of the lens and block out dirt and moisture and reduce the risk of damage to the sensor. While a Dust Donut would be required for each lens it is a small price to pay to keep the camera weatherproof.
