[OM] Re: What worked and what didnt.

It doesn't sound very auspicious that light rain caused so much camera 
mortality... "There were a couple of 1D MKII and 5D's" and "Three Canon 
5D's died that day..."  Sounds like 150% failure rate.  Notable perhaps 
that the Nikon D200's survived and they have environmental seals like 
the E-1.  However, six 1Ds Mark II's also died along with a number of 
"L" lenses.  All of these things are bristling with rubber seals 
including the lenses which have O ring seals.  Must be the rain in the 
Falklands is corrosive and eats rubber seals.

I was thinking about a rain cover a few months ago.  Maybe I'll think 
about it a little more.  I've been lucky so far.  Never had to shoot in 
any rain beyond a 5 minute sprinkle.
