Looking for Water Proof Cover

Hi,
I've searched the web trying to find a water proof cover, which also covers the lens but I cant find anything.

Can anyone help me...

I have a Canon 550d with a 55-22mm lens, but I dont have a waterproof cover for it. I would like something water proof for when I am outdoors and its raining to protect the camera and the lens. But still allowing me to take photo's, so something which is clear and wont effect the image.

I have found things on Ebay which protects just the camera, but nothing which also covers the lens.

If anyone can help me, that would be great.

Cheers

A lot of people on here swear by the optech rain sleeve. I don't have any experience with that one myself, but I used this in Iceland for a week (enough wind and rain to allow me to recommend it as a pretty good product):

Thanks for your reply...

Does that also cover the lens?

Yes it does, unless you mean the front of the lens. If you want a longer-lived solution, look at the Kata E690 or E702, among others. I keep a couple of the OpTechs in my bag against unexpected showers; if I know it's going to be wet, I take the Katas along. The OpTechs are priced to use a little and toss (under $10 for a 2-pack). A durable rain shield will run you significantly more, and take up more space when not in use.

You really don't want something that covers the FRONT of the lens, that will cause poor IQ. If you want to protect your front element from the rain, buy a high quality UV or protective filter like a B+W MRC, and also use a hood. Unless the rain is flying horizontally and you're taking photos straight into it, you don't have to worry about the front then.
The main problem you'd have if you got a rain cover that also covered the front of the lens, is the raindrops landing on the cover will show up on your photos and more likely than not, ruin them, as I will now show with a picture:

I use a Storm Jacket and have had for many years. Inexpensive, compact and works very well.

+1 for the Optech rainsleeve:

They are meant to be disposable but many say they last for many uses. Covers the body + lens barrel, and then the mouth tightens over the lens hood to seal out rain without covering the front element

I use the Thinktank Hydrophobias, and they work a treat:

^ That's a sweet action shot!

Thanks for the replies...

I dont want to spend over £20...

That is one awesome kit! .... just wondering how anyone uses AF in those conditions.

Fairly easily actually, lock it to 3m+ and AF wont lock onto the small droplets of rain. That said in motorsport you sometimes get front or rear focus depending on the water spray.
