Well for lightning shots and thunderstorms I have this special waterproof thing that goes over the lens and body all in one piece, then there's a little hood thing where you head goes
right at the eye piece so you keep your head dry too, lol!

I think www.vistek.com has some of these rain covers.


they look pretty cool, says they are good for fishing as well so i might invest in one later, thanx mate

yeh, i think your camera is semi-weather sealed already, so the addition of the cling-film should stop all the rain from getting in ur 40D smile.gif


yeah and it's like why paying a lot for waterproof gears or a totally weather sealed body like eos 1D when you can just spend a couple of bucks on those films biggrin.gif

Yes i got a few, the very dark filters are pretty expensive, but i think its worth the money


Yeah I am sure they are pretty good. I do think that some of my pictures tend to be a lil bit overexposed and maybe using one of those filters would be make pictures taken in broad day light a bit better exposed.
So which brand and type of ND filter do you recommend??

B+W is better. a little more expensive though.

Also very useful is a Graduated Neutral Density filter by Cokin, so much fun to work with and you will never have black foregrounds or all white skies again.
