Hi guys!
Well, I've had my 40D for a little while now, and I'm really enjoying learning the ins-and-outs of it all. I've shot a few thousand photos, now, and I feel like I'm getting progressively better.... maybe...
Anyway, I've come to realize I'm *really* enjoying shooting street photography at night and in the rain. I got myself a 50mm 1.8, and when downtown (either where I live near the college, or back home at the Country Club Plaza in KC), I'm looking forward to rainy nights, as I love getting the low-light shots, and the wetness adds a beautiful sheen to everything.
I've been using the "Rain Sleeve" from Optech. They're cheap, and effective... but I can only use one like once or twice before it gets gross or messed up, and the extra length at the end makes using the 50mm kind of a PITA. Plus, since I keep ordering them when I run out, I go a few days without protection.
*****
So, looking to get something a bit nicer, but I'd rather not spend more than about $100. The less the better. I've looked at Aqua-tech and Kata's offerings. Should I stick with one of those... or is there another brand I should consider?
Thanks!
