Product Description

The cover has elastic cord & cord locks on both ends. Slip the camera into the back end of the cover and attach the small end of the cover around the lens. Leave the back end open however much you want when you're shooting (the back opens to about a 10" diameter circle when fully open), and close it down when you're not shooting.

Key features:

 ~ 16" long fits cameras and any lens combo that are up to 13" long (3" is allowed for the back to fully close) - Larger sizes up to 35" avalible.

 ~ Made of a highly durable, ultra lightweight, waterproof material

 ~ Takes mere seconds to attach or remove.

 ~ Easy Velcro closure along the bottom which allows handheld or tripod shooting.

 ~ Compact, flexible, & ultra light - weighs approximately 1.5 oz.

 ~ The cover fits with an external flash on the camera.

~ TTL flash works thru the cover.

~ Will work with lenses that rotate to focus.

 ~ Makes a handy sunshade. DSLRs produce images with less "noise" if you keep the camera's sensor cool.

I have the much more expensive Kata E-702 Large Digital SLR Camera Raincover, but I like this product better. It's very simple, with an elasticized end that just fits over my Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM Telephoto Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras, which has a pretty large diameter (too large for the Kata).

The soft material means it can be folded up very compactly - much more so than the rather stiff Kata raincover. It's as easy to pack as a plastic bag, and easy to slip over your camera and lens.

I suppose it might not be as waterproof as the thick plastic Kata if you're out taking photos in a hurricane. And the Kata has the advantage of being transparent, so you can read your LCD screen through it. (Though realistically, if it's raining, you can't see that much anyway.) All in all, I find this a much more useful product, not to mention cheaper. My thanks to whoever invented it. I love it.

The rain cover has been a great addition to my camera bag. I used it for 7 days while hiking the Appalachian trail and it performed beautifully, keeping my camera accessible yet reasonably protected. Thanks for a great product.

This is a must have for all photographers amateur and pro alike!

I bought this because I often shoot very close to breaking surf and all too often get salt water on my camera (not good!). I tried a rainsleeve from Op/Tech but it was too small for the camera and my hands and wouldn't work on a tripod. The reviews here convinced me to give this one a try and I'm glad I did. It's simple design is effective: I got a bit drenched today, but my camera stayed dry!

I use this with a Nikon D5000 and an 18-200mm VR zoom (medium size lens). It fits the rig with room to spare. The bottom opening allows use with a tripod and the fabric doesn't block the infrared remote. In fact, I can now use the remote from behind as well as in front since the the fabric reflects enough of the beam to trigger the camera sensor.

In short, this product is not only functional, but very compact and easy to use. That means I'll actually carry it with the camera all the time.

Highly recommended.

Update, Sept 2011. I still love this cover. Don't leave home without it!
