I went on a photo shoot on the weekend and it started raining. What do you have to cover your camera and lens when taking pictures? Our camera was mostly on a tripod.

I keep a couple of OpTech RainSleeves in my bag just in case; if I expect to be out in the rain, I bring along my Kata E-702 rain covers as well.

+1 on the OpTech Rainsleeve! Bought one after getting recommendations here. Had a high school football game to shoot and terrible weather on the forecast. Glad I bought a pack, saved my gear for sure, plus it allowed me to continue to shoot! I shot as long as they played, until the game was finally called. This rainsleeve withstood easily over ten minutes of straight and serious downpour.

Allowed me to capture images like this with my non-weather sealed 50D/70-300 non-L combo...

OpTech or similar in each bag for just in case something comes up.

If I know I am going to be out in the rain, I use Think Tank hydrophobias for my gear and a Gore-Tex suit for me.
