Out today shootin waterfalls in rain and snow... dry with towel and bring to heat slowly to reduce condesation. In cases where moisture has accumlated under the Armour. I remove it and let every part dry. turn off the camera and remove the battery.........ready to go for next time...extreme temperature changes a plastic freezer bag will reduce moisture formation inside components.

Flash isn't verboten, but you have to get creative with it. Otherwise you end up with bright little catch lights creating a veil between you and your subject.

Now what you want to do is take a rubber band, and only place the lens hood, or you UV Lens Cover out side of the bag. Then finally wrap the rubber band around the bag/lens and you are set. I find this to be better because I for one would not want to expose my lens to insane amounts of rain, but if I am forced to atleast I can still zoom/focus and keep everything dry.

Some of canons lenses require a filter in front to complete the seal against rain. The 16-35/2.8 is one of them. Basically any lens which moves the front lens when focusing or zooming.

On the contrary, it allows for those who enjoy street photography (or nature, come to think of it) to take their usual shots, in a whole different 'environment'. As for me, I use the good ol' plastic bag and a rubber band to hold it to a lens.
