Over the years, some of my best photos have been taken in bad weather, rain in p articular. I do not mind using my 35m or medium format gear in the rain. I just put a plastic trash bag over the camera and poke the lens out of a small hole in the bag. I do not really worry about getting water into the lens, because only a small portion of the lens sticks out of the plastic. In contrast, I have been concerned with using my 4x5 in rainy conditions, because I have not wanted wate r to get into the shutter. The lenses (for the most part) are so stubby that see ms quite hard to keep the shutter from getting soaked.

Am I being over concerned about this? Any tips on working in the rain would be a ppreciated. Thanks in advance.
