Rain Protection for your camera (Page 2): Clarification- it was custom rain protection that covered the camera and lens as well as the extended viewfinder in one sweet, sleek package.

Clarification- it was custom rain protection that covered the camera and lens as well as the extended viewfinder in one sweet, sleek package. I guess the lens to be about a 300 mm prime size or just a bit larger.

Did it by chance look like this. You can select what color/pattern you would like.

I have something similar to this one in clear plastic. Less expensive and I can see thru it for checking settings. I have no idea where I got it but I'm sure they are out there.

I have the Peak Design, which comes in 3 different sizes:

It's neoprene and covers pretty closely. It may appear baggy on a normal lens, but I'm sure a 300mm prime behemoth probably stretched any cover to its limits, making it look pretty sleek.

In my particular case I avoid shooting under the rain. I do not believe I would be comfortable even with a weather sealed camera which by the way are not completely weather sealed.
Something like a Ziplock, a very cheap solution but very effective, could be of great help although there are other products that are more sophisticated and perhaps better but I have no experience with any of them.
How often do you shoot under adverse weather conditions? If not often save your money.

Often for me. Recent trip to Alaska where it rained all but one day. Another trip to the Olympia National Park, and in Paris where it is raining now. Sometimes an umbrella is sufficient.

I looked at the video- thank you. I don't think this is it although closer. I may be mistaken but I would guess that the one I am looking for has more of a formed, harder shell. It caught my eye precisely because of its form fit. It seemed to be meant for rain-

You never know what the weather will be at the Oregon coast and I am here half of the year. Think salt water, sand, wind, rain, mist. My equipment is weather resistant- not weather proof. I have emergency protection in the form of a rainproof sleeve but it is awkward to use.

Interesting, I guess I would like to know also what kind of protection it is.

Look at LensCoat site https://lenscoat.com/

The lens coat products are not exactly sleek, but are adaptable to different cameras and lenses, sure reasonably priced and well made of quality materials. Their raincoat works fine with my DSLR and 600mm lens.

AFAIK it's still one of. or perhaps the, best systems. I've had mine since way back in the film days Best of luck.

I always carried a few clear plastic bags and some stout rubber bands.
