Seems like all the sunscreens I try leave greasy residue on LCD and back of camera. Any great "dry" sun block products out there that don't transfer to back of camera body?????

Thanks !!!!!

Bull frog makes an alcohol based one that smells like a Vodka Gimlet..

It is tacky at first, but not "greasy" and a quick wipe of your palms on your shorts and your good to shoot again.

I use this as the only "rub on " sunblock,.

I also use Coppertone or CVS brand spray on for most applications, and the a Neutragina "stick" for my face. In both cases your hands never touch the sunblock.

I used the Bullfrog mostly across Africa in 2006 (along with the stick ) as a spray bottle was of no use when stuck in a 4x4, and usually by the time we were getting out of the 4x4 I was too busy to think of sunblock!

FYI, I'm a red head that burns like it's my job, so I take these things VERY seriously.

Other tips, I always have a light colored cloth to wear like Lawrence of Arabia to protect my neck and shoulders in a cargo short pocket, and use this same cloth to wipe any excess "Bullfrog" off my hands. Can be used in a pinch to wipe African dist from gear as well.
