These are really fine, John! One question, do you use a rain cover for the camera gear when photographing in the rain? My Pentax is almost waterproof. But if you don't have a corresponding water resistant lens the rain will creep between the lens mount and camera.

Yes, I do use a rain cover even though I have weather-proof bodies and some weather-proof lenses. It depends on the amount of precipitation, though. Light mist or sprinkling rain is usually not a problem. But for anything harder, I'll use the camera 'raincoat'. I also use a Billingham bag which is weather proof, and allows me to whip the camera out, and put it back in quickly, rather than having it on a strap out in the rain. A couple of years ago I was photographing in the rain
without the raincoat, and I guess a drop got in around the EVF eyepiece. Suddenly, the EVF stopped working (and I use that almost exclusively, rather than the LCD). Fortunately, it dried out and worked fine. But I learned to take manufacturers' claims with a grain of salt.
