Title: Raincoat for Hasselblad H3D / H4D? MF in general?
Post by: Barkeeper on August 18, 2010, 07:32:05 am

Hello,

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

What do you use to protect your MF-cameras?

Thanks
Barkeeper

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.

David

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
