anyone using a rain cover on a 20D?

I shoot a lot of football in the fall and am wondering what kind of rain cover to get for my 20D (or 40D if it ever comes out). I don't want to shoot any more games from the covered area above press box. Those pictures don't sell nearly as well.

Can anyone recommend a good rain cover?

Hey Ralph...there is another thread running with the same question. I use a Tall Kitchen bag with a hole for the lens. Snap a good rubber band around the lens and you are home free. Cheap and it works.

I use a Storm Jacket.

Another vote for Storm Jacket. But I carry a garbage bag or two and some rubber bands...just in case.

To the OP... while i was shooting NCAA football, i just used a walmart bag, or plastic trashbag... works well and is cheap and camera still works like a champ

I use Storm Jackets too. The garbage bag and rubber bands will work in a pinch.

Thanks for all your advice. The Storm Jacket looks good.

So with the storm jacket, the front of you lens is still exposed, and if you choose, the front of the flash is still exposed?

I've seen some covers that have a thin film that goes over the front of the lens. Does that matter? All L-Series Lenses are water resistant, right?

In a fairly heavy downpour in Iceland I did discover that taking off a hiking gaiter from your boot and zipping it over the lens works reasonably well. Of course water then gets in your boot, which is not so good.

I learn stuff here when I least expect to at times. It never rains here why read this thread? I found out about Storm Jacket. I have been trying to come up with something a little better than a big ziploc and a rubber band to keep some of the dust off my camera when shooting desert races.

Mine came yesterday. The med. jacket fits nice on 30d/grip and 24-105. I don't expect it to be dust "proof", just reduce the poundage some. I think its going to be great.

Edit: Fits the 70-200 f4 fine as well.

My local dealer stocks the E-690 which will take a 30D plus a small zoom lens such as the Canon 10/22 or my Tokina 12/24.

There are also longer sleeves for bigger teles and zooms.

i have the lens cover http://www.wildlifewat​chingsupplies.co.uk/le​ns.htm and body cover, however with the body cover it wasnt big enough, i emailed kevin the owner and he has been a great help and is making me a larger one (almost double in size) so i can get my head under and keep the body covered, great product.

I use the Kata E-702 for both my 5D and 20D (ungripped).
