Accessories for shooting in rain?

[Big Jimmy]

Is there any type of accessory that fits over the end of the lens to shield
it from rain? I am travelling to Scotland this coming June and knowing that
it rains there often, I would like something like this. Any ideas?

There are various rain hoods available. I use a 2 gallon size plastic
bag, and just lift it off the camera long enough to make the exposure.
This is not a good way to work in a real downpour though.

I would suggest a lens shade and a large zip lock bag (bring
several).

Don't get overly worried, as it does not rain all the time. I am
Irish and even we have a few dry hours during the year.

If you really want to handle really bad weather, get a heavy duty
extra large zip-lock bag and cut a hole in it. The hole is for a clear
or UV filter which is taped to cover the hole. Screw the filter (and
bag) on the camera. Un-zip it to change film, you should be able to
handle most camera functions through the bag.

Tenba Rain Cover, or for more extreme conditions, an Ewa Marine flexible
housing.
