    Rain Cover / Weather protection

    Hi - I have seen on Ebay someone selling Rain Cover / Weather protection hoods for large format cameras - Unfortunately I cannot find the seller by searching.

    If anyone knows the seller ID or knows anywhere I can get something similar please post back.

    The item I am seeking drops over the camera on a tripod and has a drawstring underneath. The ground glass screen to view and load film holders and also the lens are accessible via zip up holes.


    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hmmm....you could use a cheap black shower curtain for a dark cloth.

    I use a big darkcloth made of black Goretex. Works superbly for both the camera and me.

    I keep a couple of large garbage bags in my pack. Cheap, compact, lightweight, replaceable. Also, one could make a poncho for the photographer. I also carry a small bungee to secure the bag, and for other uses.
