Sacramento is under a heavy overcast today, with a light and steady rain. Light was dismal; with K200 in the SL, shutter speeds were between 1/60 and 1/100 at f/4.8 (280 Telyt-V) on a (yecch) tripod. I'll admit it, the tripod is useful sometimes, and if I gotta use a tripod the Tiltall's the one I'll use. I haven't had problems with light rain on the SL for short periods of time but I don't want to get it soaked. Has anyone used any sort of rain cover over a long lens? Doug Herr Sacramento
