Did any of you buy those camera specific rain sleeve things or what are you using?

The last thing I used to cover my camera was a plastic bag from Target! Got caught by a surprise shower while shooting a high school graduation. Never have owned a rain sleeve. I just carry a Target bag with me now. :-)

My D300 is pretty much weather resistant, well up to a point. But no I never carry, or use a rain coat for it.If it is raining so hard that I am worried about it, then I am not out shooting. I always wear a boonie hat, and have held it over it before when caught out, or put it under my bdu shirt. But if I am going to get soaked I am not shooting.

Sixteen gallon trash bags, for those that don't shop in a Target. That covers camera, lens, speedlight and most of the tripod. That and some gaffers tape and a couple rubber bands and its a go. Also,  I shoot Nikon, and don't worry about the elements.......;)

Why so serious?

My wife got me some Optec rain covers a few years ago

Like Kelly and Effron, I don't have anything to cover my camera. I also shoot Nikon so it is weather proof. I just don't go out when the weather is really bad. Touch wood but I have not been caught in very, very bad weather with my camera...yet.

I got some rain covers, but they are a bit annoying, I don't like fighting with them to go on the camera. But like everyone else said, I tend to not go out in the rain.

+1 stay indoors, or bring an assistant to hold a big golf umbrella.

I have these clear heavy duty plastic bags that I picked up in a big box from Home Depot.  Cheap and durable

I use those for windy days in dusty areas as a portable clean room for changing lenses. I usually have at least one in my pack when I know that will be the case. But for rain no.
