Thinkthank hydrophobia

[Nau]

Hi Guys,

I begin to shoot motocross with my canon EOS Rebel XSi and é lenses (24-70 L and 70-200 2.8 L).
Last time i had shoot this sport, a lot of dust came on my camera and lenses.

I take a look at some products to maitain material dry and out of dust for example kata E-702, Rainsleeve and finally found the thinkthank hydrophobia 70-200.
I found the last one very functional, possible to use strap (not possible with other product).

I had 2 questions about this product because can't find the answer :

- Do it exist an eyeviewer for my camera? If yes, wich one will fit?
- Will it work with my 24-70? Or it's specific for 70-200 lenses?

Nau.

Nobody can answer those questions?

Do you use the Hydrophobia?

I use the Op/Tech Rainsleeve.. I've never needed anything more.

I would email/twitter/Facebook Think Tank and ask them. They are a great company to deal with.

Thanks for your reply TheLost.

I saw this product when i begin my search but i abandon it because i red some comments about the fragility of this product.
They said buy "two because it break really quick".

What are your opinion with the quality and the robustness of this rainsleeve?

For $6.50(US) you get two in a package. They are basically just plastic bags with a draw string on one end. They do tear and break easily.... but again... they are ~$7(US) for two!!!

They have a cutout for the eye peace and are long enough to handle a 70-200 f/2.8.. basically they keep the water from your gear. I've used them in rain and snow without any issue.

A pack of two normally lasts me a full American high school Football season (3 months-ish). They are small enough to keep in your bag 'just in case'.

And again... $7 vs. $140. If your going to shoot in the rain/wet all the time the Think Tank makes sense.
