Raincoat for Hasselblad H3D / H4D? MF in general?

[Barkeeper]

Hello,

could you suggest a raincoat for Hasselblad H3D?
(+ 35 - 90mm)

What do you use to protect your MF-cameras?

Thanks

Hi

I have used A Kata rain sleeve with success on my Hasselblad HD3.  I have tried others but found them too fiddly and time consuming to use.  In addition I have a set of plain glass filters which I put on every time as well as the rain cover.  This means that I can clear the lens of any water drops without risk of damage.

Hope this helps.

i David,

Could you tell us what model of Kata rain sleeve you bought. I have a H3D with 35-90 and am looking for a solution.

Hello,

do you use KATA 705?

I have ordered a "copy" for testing.

In two or three weeks I will tell you more about this.

I will have to check if the 705 will fit. I use the 705 with my 5d MKii in driving rain but have never thought to take the H4 out in such environments ... will get back with the answer soon

works a treat ... slightly on the bulky side but works a treat
