Do Slr Lenses Good Lens Hood SLR Lenses - Are They Watertight? How Do You Protect Your Lens?

SLR lenses - are they watertight? How do you protect your lens? - do slr lenses good lens hood

So lately, I was just a game of beach volleyball was pouring rain. In the short break, I noticed several news photographers running around and chasing a shot. What has surprised me - as she dropped her precious camera from rain ...

Most of them covered the bodies with a kind of plastic, but most were abandoned, most lenses that cover the streets. So I thought of the pros here to ask - How to protect your computer in a shower?

I understand that the work of the photographers at the Olympics you probably do not want to spoil the spirit of certain equipment to get a shot of a unique and valuable. Maybe a few. But the question is - risk aware his ship in order to increase their ability to quickly, or the goal is actually to resist rain, and only the body needs to obtain coverage? Or are there any specific objectives, the more evidence than others?

Please tell me what to do to maintain the security cameras, but functional at the wrong time?

As for me? I try to keep the device at tthe bag when it rains, but was shot at least once with the camera completely wrapped in a shopping bag (it was the best piece of plastic cover that avilable) and open the lens through a small incision and secured over an umbrella with a rubber band. This is the course that zooms very difficult to reach, use ....

Thank you in advance for all those who shared their stories.
