Still behind on the list, what else is new?  But asking collectively for
suggestions.

I plan to be in a local Mardi Gras parade on Saturday.  The forecast is for
rainy weather.  I would ordinarily plan on using my Nikonos camera fro
shooting, but want to exercise my Pentax gear - more fun that way :-)  It
also allows me the possibility to change lenses - I only have the 35mm for
the Nikonos.

For slide film, no question I will use an LX.  No protection.  Have done it
in the past and will do so until they all give up the ghost.  I have even
used the MZ-S in such weather.  I think the shot of me in the portrait
gallery was with it at a baseball tournament.

The question is about the *ist D.  Other than in actual rain, what measures
should I take to protect it?

In general, what would you do in shooting in such weather?  Lens covering?
Body covering?  Etc.

Hoping for some nice info... No telling what I will do though :-)

Asking early since I will be out of town and unavailable to e-mail until
late tomorrow.

Thanks for all the information,
