I have a Canon 1000D with the IS100-400mm lens but I've noticed a reluctance in myself to take this set up out if there's a liklihood it might get wet. I don't know much about the equipment but I'm assuming the lens is fairly waterproof (but that you still probably wouldn't want to tempt fate by leaving it out in heavy rain) but the camera (being entry level) less so.
Is there waterproofing equipment like a cover I can use to carry it in all weathers? I don't expect it to keep out the seawater of the Moray Firth (where my last one ended up!) but I do expect it to protect the camera & lens from tropical rain storms as I'll be taking it to Sri Lanka next year. Keen to hear others' suggestions/ experiences - also whether anyone has constructed any decent 'DIY' covers that allow usage without a degree of unpacking.
thanks
James
