Is it important to cover the hot shoe in the rain, dust, dirt, etc?

Richard Franiec makes some very high quality hotshoe covers, which are primarily intended to help prevent snagging the hotshoe on items of clothing. Not cheap, though, but well appreciated by some folks. Fit flush, very nice. http://www.kleptograph​y.com/rf/ (external link) They will prevent Canons with pop-up flash units from popping up.

EOS series 40D, 50D, 5DMKII, 7D, 1DMKIII, 1DsMKIII, 1DMKIV -- cover CHSC-ND.

EOS series 10D, 20D, 5D (Mark 1) -- cover CHSC-P.

Which one is for the 6D, I would assume it's same as the 5D???

Hidden water spot could be a problem, so could a wet kitchen countertop, but I am more concerned with the first few drops in light rain.

Thanks, I have also read the BS-2 cover from Nikon covers the whole shoe, will try that one too.

No idea, I suggest emailing Franiec.
