Very nice photograph, Dave. Here is a photograph of one of my fellow photographers in the Highlands in Iceland trying to shoot in a driving rainstorm with winds of 30-40 mph. :ROTFL:Yesterday's 2"/hr blizzard. 60xl two-image stitch.
I don't know if I'm crazy, but I don't share the concern others have over technical cameras in bad weather. Over in the X1D thread Howard, probably rightfully so, questioned how a technical camera would hold up in Iceland with pouring rain, snow, etc. I spent a week there last Feb with no issues and the weather was anything but sunny. Sure cover the Copal shutter. But except for the DB there's no electronics. I take the same reasonable care I did with my old bombproof Canon 1n. And now with ES I don't even have to fumble around setting the shutter speed.
On second thought, maybe I'm not crazy. Maybe just...
Forest Gump :loco:
You may be right about the lens and body for the tech camera being ok because they are all mechanical. The digital back is another matter. My IQ180 was attached to an H2 body and went wonky on me in Iceland. I assume that the connection between the digital back and the tech camera is not weather resistant, though perhaps you can tape over the connection. My H2 died and I am not sure where the rain water penetrated.
