->> I'm looking at getting some rain covers for my body and lenses.
Does anyone know if I would need a large or extra large to fit a F5 with a 400 2.8 with double hood? |

->> From looking at the B&H website the large should work. It says the large fits lens lengths up to 480mm. |

->> The fit length of Aquatech Sport Shields is the physical length of the lens, hood(s), and body combined (back of the body to the front of the lens hood). I measured an F5, 400/2.8 AFS-II, and both lens hoods at 533mm. The XLarge is supposed to accommodate up to 530mm. Check with Jody at Roberts to be sure. |

->> Bob, I just picked up the ThinkTank Hydrophobia for focal length ranges between 300 and 600. Tested the cover shooting three football games in a row in the rain all day yesterday, and just like all other ThinkTank products I use, performance is phenomenal. The price point was appropriate as well. Many years ago - probably 10 now, I used an AquaTech cover that seemed to block out water for only a few hours in drizzle, FWIW. |
