I also raided the kitchen for a plastic container and a empty bottle etc. I used a propane torch to heat a thin knife to cut the plastic... hot glue gun to join the parts. Ain't perddy, but she works!
Clear viewing plastic in back, hole for finger in side, the snout is larger than the lens of the Panasonic ZS20 and is out further.. But it works...that is what counts. Excuse the quick shot...

Problem with this design is that water will "wick" into the exposed portions of the lens/filter exposed.

As mentioned above, I use the Rainsleeve. At two for $6.00, it's a great deal. I've also kept my camera under my jacket while not shooting. For really wet conditions, I have a Nikon AW100, which I got as a refurb.

Yes Jerry I think it was you who gave information on Wicking in another forum, but I think it had more to do with getting punctuation rules into the heads of 9th graders. Water will tend to wet and go into tight spaces via capillary action. so a drop of water on the thread filter/lens joint could lead to the wicking of water into that area then vapors would invade the inter area of the lens via vapor action. This is why in my design above that the lens shield extends well beyond the camera lens. The diameter of that shield is large to prevent vignetting.

Easy, I shoot Pentax K7 with DA 18-135 WR {weather resistant} lens and don't worry about keeping the camera dry. Dust stays out too. Cliff

Here is the question that no one has yet asked. How often or percentage of your photos do you take in the rain? Is it accidental or do you purposefully go out in the rain to take photos?
