|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Hydrophobia 70-200 is finally here! Tim Snow, Photographer Montreal | Qc | Canada | Posted: 12:03 PM on 01.25.10 ->> Thanks Think Tank! http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/hydrophobia-70-200-rain-cover.aspx  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Really disappointed there seems to be no accommodation for a flash, however...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

And one most certainly accomodates flash.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

That was my biggest problem with my Kata system  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Looks very good (I have the Hydrophobia for my 500 and love it). That said, these work great, and are compact, cheap and disposable: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Rain-Capes-Covers-Slickers-/ci/15618/N/42...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

ThinkTank keeps saying " a few more weeks"  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I love TT products, and can see it is constructed well. But the Op/Tech Rain Sleeve for flash that Michael pointed out are less than $6 bucks for 2. I've been using a cheap storm jacket for years, and just pull my rain coat hood over the back of the camera and get great coverage. I was just a bit shocked when I saw the $140 price tag. OUCH!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It is pricey but its well made and thought out. The only problem I see the the internal strap that goes around the lens gets in the way of the zoom ring on my short glass, its great with my 70-200 though. $140 for the bag is a bit spendy but nothing compared to $35 for a $.04 injection molded eyepeice.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm curious is it long enough for the 70-200 with TCs on? Especially curious about something like the 70-200 with the new Nikon 2.0tc?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

With all that, the cover extends about an inch past the lens shade, which is probably four more inches on top of the lens and extender. The instructions say to use the lens shade with the cover. I can't see you having any sort of problems. When I have a chance I'll see if it works on the 100-400.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I gotta say, it's tough to keep a good cadence going and not have to splice when you're being pelted in the face with snow and sleet! http://vimeo.com/9890444  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Works fine. Love the built-in camera strap.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
