LastLine ... only if you're a woman! If you're a guy it's normal perversion!

wooo.. I guess I better clarify some things before people start wondering... the RainCover is actually a weird idea of mine as a joke for protection against rain and flood. I haven't really tested it out becuase it was very hot and hard to breathe.. (YES, it is me in that... hehe.. :) )
As to responding to Dwight's response, I am referring to the movie played by Leslie Nielson in The Naked Gun, Police Squad. Literally.
Well, the thought is funny though. :)

S230, Ah, good, that settles it then ... normal perversion! And I do remember the movie! :-)

The rain covers start on page 38. I like these because they largely clear and you can see your camera

there bulletproof vests don't look so bad either. the groin protector seems like a good investment.

I use a clean garbage bag. Big enough for the camera, lens and tripod. ;) And it's cheap too.

Glad you liked it. I posted this before because many times members take things too seriously. I hope I put some smiles or even laughter to some people.

wasn't there a thread on here somewhere about making a camera cover and using a razor to cut the bag on the front of the lens so that the only part of the camera that got wet was the front of the filter. that's what I do and it works great

If I do, I may be saving the corner's office the trouble of bagging it... :)
