A plastic bag and some gaffer's tape are very cheap, very easy to stash in your camera bag, and very easy to use when needed. | |

Sometimes the meaning of words can be lost in translation. | |

| Nov 23, 2013 at 15:15 | comment | added | Michael C | Drip proof is one thing, but a downpour that allows water to pool in certain spots, such as the well for the AF/M switch, faster than it can drain is another thing entirely. By 'downpour' I'm referring to hurricane/typhoon type conditions that can dump several inches of rain in just a few minutes. If you've never been in such a tropical storm then what you consider a 'downpour' is likely not the same thing. | |
