Plastic bag as a camera rain cover?
Hello, I'm going on a week long film trip soon and need to be ready for some rain. Would a plastic bag or garbage bag be good enough to protect a Sony NX5U from the rain or would something else be needed?

I've certainly done it before, with a large Zip Lock bag. Use a lens hood, cut an opening in the bag just large enough to go over the hood, and use strong rubber bands to secure the bag to the lens hood. Try to be mindful to not let any rain angles fall directly into the lens / hood opening and you should be fine.

I've used rain covers made by FotoSharp for several years (different covers for different lenses, shooting situations). Top quality, easy to use, and reasonably priced. And they're made in the USA to boot, which I like! :)
