because a lot of my time is spent out in the rain, I have resolved to get a weatherproof body such as an old 1N. I have a rebel g and it has quit during some rain or spray, only to get started again after a day or 2 of drying out. I also have a 630 RT, which I have been more careful with, but I am not sure what it will take without harm.
I am really in the dark about my lenses, however. Do ordinary EF lenses do OK in the rain (such as a 50mm 1.8, a 135mm 2.8, a 28-70mm f3.4-4.5)? Or do I have to buy L series lenses in order to go out in the wet? What do other rainy day photographers do? I am reluctant to get into rain hoods and the like. I am willing to forget about it when it is really coming down, or aboard a really wet boat ride. But I do want to go out into moderate rain as unencumbered as possible, and not damage the gear. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
