[QUOTE="hark, post: 761381, member: 13196"] I use the Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover although I haven't used it during heavy rain. The small just fits my 300mm f/4 PF with an attached TC. When I use it with my 24-120mm f/4, there's a lot of excess material bunched up. So it's plenty long for my gear. [URL]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1431014-REG/think_tank_photo_740618_emergency_rain_cover_small.html[/URL] There are also less expensive rain covers available. At a minimum, use the thickest grocery or store bag with some method of securing it around the lens hood. Painter's tape works. ;) One day while I was out in a snow storm, I didn't realize my Think Tank cover would fit my 300mm f/4 PF so I used that lens coupled with my D7200 without any protection. That's when a little snow must have gotten down in the shutter button area causing the body to no AF with any lens. It worked perfectly in BBF though. Then I did that camera body reset that someone here mentioned, and it resolved the issue completely. So even though the gear is listed as weather sealed, it isn't waterproof. [/QUOTE]
