Well, Pelican cases are wonderful, but if you're not a rich Irishman ( 8^> ),
you might want to take a gander at the Waterproof Lexan Utility Box (various
sizes) from GSI Outdoor Products, available at Mountain Equipment Co-op (in
Canada) and probably various places in the States. The large size will hold a
Zuiko 300/4.5 lens without problem, as well as a body and another (smaller)
lens. The boxes use a soft synthetic rubber gasket for a watertight/airtight
seal. They're also transparent, so you can see what's inside 'em.
I found a bunch of them for sale at this site:

If that wraps, you'll have to cut-'n-paste.
