On a trip to Paris, we encountered tons of rain, and of course it was on the day we were at the Eiffel Tower! The day would have been ruined if I hadn't had these Rainsleeves with us. We easily figured out how to fit it over my camera (I was using a Nikon D5100 with an 18-200mm lens) at a café and were back on our way again for the rest of the night.
The Rainsleeve fits over the whole camera with a little hole that is pre-cut to fit over the viewfinder (you remove and refit your eyepiece to hold it in place). The other end is held around your lens with a drawstring. The bag is curved to naturally conform to your arm, and there is a lot of space inside for your hand to move around to the controls. Your other hand on the outside can easily move the lens, but the way I ended up fitting mine, it ended up being easier to leave part of the lens tube exposed when it was extended. (I wish the drawstring was replaced with elastic...it did get in the way sometimes).
I use a Black Rapid RS-7 camera strap (which is another miraculous product worth every cent), and it worked fine with this product, but the Rainsleeves probably wouldn't work as well with a traditional camera strap (although you could probably use the bag "upside down" with the bend of it in the opposite direction. We realized we had inadvertently done this the entire first day we used it, with no real problem, there was enough surplus material that we didn't really notice).
Even though the Rainsleeve was soaked the first night, my camera was dry (except the glass of the lens, which I will prepare better for in the future - make sure to have something to dry and buff those water spots!) We hung the Rainsleeve up to dry that night, and re-used it again the next day. I think we probably could have gotten one or two more uses out of it if we needed to, but luckily the rain stopped and we had the second one anyway.
Keeping a nice little stock of these on hand for sure! What a great tool to have in a pinch - such a simple inexpensive solution to keep my $2000 set up working on our pricey picturesque vacation, even despite the weather! :)
The drawstring works OK, but I usually hit it with some gaff tape to secure the sleeve onto the lens hood.
I shoot with these sleeves on Canon 1DX MkII and Canon 7D MkII with grip, mated with Canon 70-200 f/2.8 and Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 lenses. It handles these large bodies and telephoto lenses, no problem.
Well, its raining today off and on and I'm going anyway, so I opened the packaging and pulled one of the two out. It's kind of like a plastic bag shaped to go over your camera and lens. I slipped off my eye piece protector and pulled the bag over my Canon 135mm F/2 L lens and placed the opening around the eye piece and slipped the protector on then pulled the cord tight around the lens end. It's got a nice little slip cord release button that makes resizing a breeze.
Bingo, instance emergency weather protection. But I get it on and start using it and right away there are two problems, one the slip cord end over the lens hood keeps slipping back towards the camera, I ended up using some gaphers tape to hold it to the hood. The other problem is you lose the use of your neck strap since it is hanging out the end. You really don't realize how much you use your neck strap until you can't use it. Still I'm out in effiy weather with ominous looking dark clouds and I feel safer then without it. Ok now it's starting to rain and my fingers are really getting wet so I have taken leaving my hand inside the cover on the camera at all times which is easy to do since taking it in and out of the camera bag is a pain anyway and the bag is getting wet. Still I'm out in the rain and taking photos and no problems so far with my 5D Mark II.
Pros:
Easy on and easy off
Very good price point
You get two with each order!
Keeps your camera and lens dry
Cons:
Lens end keeps slipping back down barrel of lens
No place or hole for neck strap so you have to carry camera entire time.
Conclusion:
Get a pack just in case but don't rely on this as your primary weather protection.

Beh, è molto più comodo e più robusto, costa poco, fa quel che serve e lo fa bene, è leggerissimo e non occupa spazio. Il cordino per stringere sull'obiettivo è davvero comodo!
Faccio foto in condizioni difficili, sono specializzato, e questo sacco mi è stato utilissimo in condizioni di pioggia o polvere dalle foreste dell'Honduras alle nostre alpi.
L'ho ricomprato perché l'ultimo dei due sacchetti l'ho usato per fare foto in un pollaio industriale, 14mila polli svolazzanti che praticamente mi hanno coperto di guano, polvere e acari e avrebbero coperto di schifezze anche la mia macchina fotografica, ma per fortuna hanno insozzato solo il sacchetto e grazie a questo prodigioso sacchetto ho salvato la mia macchina fotografica! Olé!
