Thank you friedmud for your kind words. My first love is street shooting, but alas I have little time to be out there anymore.

I once got my 16-35mm mk II killed during a trip into a Thai jungle.
It was holding a B&W MRC UV SLIM filter, but the humidity was SO high, it killed quite a few parts in it..

Kitaoka, nice capture with the umbrella, you are giving me the urge to shoot in the rain! Only problem is now is the snow season up north over here

sometimes these things failing appears so random. I spent 2 months in thailand and surrounding countries with my 40d and tamron 17-50, neither which are sealed and I had noissues at all. Use them in rain often actually.

I agree, i worked in Chang Mai and Bangkok for a long time with my whole kit and never had problems.

I had a few in Berlin last winter going from shooting in the snow back to my apartment and the temperature change caused a lot of condensation.... but never had one fail.

Rain shots are good, but it's very difficult to catch the rain in the shot, backlighting with bright sunlight will do it, flash hasn't got a chance, and if you do want to light it then you need some really powerful kit. Adding the rain back in post production works really well, and will reproduce what you actually saw, it also looks to the eye more natural than a shot with loads of splashes & no rain.
