Nice shots!

If you are rain concerned i recommend Aquatech Sports Shield. Not cheap but well efective.

Doesn't look like a very fun shoot in all that rain, but came away with some nice shots.

As an alternative to the Aquatech, I'd recommend the Griffgear shields...in fact, I've got a cover for the 300mm f/2.8 that I'm looking to sell.

PM me if interested!

Out of interest, what's the Football Data Co stance on Scottish Premier photos? I thought they were the same restrictions as Football League stuff?!? Not that I'm trying to get you to remove shots or that i'm bitter...but I'd hate to see you lose the licence!

Hi Noisy the shots were taken in miserable Paisley, glad i did not get any rain into my gear.My local team won and got through to the next round of the cup.So it was worth getting soaked.

what did you clean those up with? looks great. I've been using aquatech with my 300mm f/2.8 for about a year. It's nice but the window is a little out of place to see the LCD screen on my 5D MK II. It keeps everything nice and dry and dont forget the eyepiece.

I have the Hydrophobia by Think Tank... love it. Especially the way it was designed to go on in preperation of rain . It works and allows me to do my job.

buy yourself a plastic bag keeps the rain out , or spend stupid money on a camera+lens cover if you are worried about image

To each his own ... but when Im protecting $10,000+ in equip I dont mind spending $150.

I doubt people buy from me for my rain cover, but I will disagree with you about image. Image is EVERYTHING ... perceived value is one of the basics of economics.
