I was redoing this Hasselblad picture I'd done in the 80s this time digital and hand held. http://rabinergroup.com/ImagePages/Laterellefallspage.html And not square format. The water volume was way higher so I got drenched. It was like I was shooting the waterfall from inside the waterfall this time. Water running down my camera and lens. Drenched my glasses. The camera was fine next day but the lens the Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G AF-S Zoom got some stuff in it it not being as well sealed as some of the more pro ones. Arf! Needs cleaned! I did change lenses at one point during that shoot; And did change cards. All with full water effects everywhere and down through my underwear. Normally I'm not so hard on my gear. But I feel either your stuff is going to work or its not. And if its not your using the wrong stuff get something different you can use.
