It's easy to use, doesn't take up much space in the camera bag, fits all sorts of lenses and accessories, is unbelievably cheap compared to the alternatives, and it keeps your camera safe from the damage that can be caused by rain. Take it from someone who has destroyed a $5000 camera in a light snowfall, this is the accessory that everyone should have

Very Easy to use. Economical way to protect your camera from the elements. Highly recommend

A great product that is inexpensive and does the job. Keeps the rain off your camera without spending $$$$.

There are many more expensive rain covers for cameras, but this is by far the least expensive solution that I found and works fantastically, It covers the entire camera and lens body well. The only complaint is the ability to see the LCD screen through the cover, but that is expected, and I'd rather have trouble seeing it than not be able to use it because my camera got wet.

At two for less than $5, you should not be without one of these, It protects your camera, but lets you at all the controls. You could spend over $100 but these do the trick. Carry another for a friend.

Used this rainsleeve in the rain in Alaska. It was perfect. It fit my 70-200 fine, with room to spare. No leaks, and did the job.

I bought a pack of these sleeves to use when shooting outdoor sports in the rain. I'm not a pro photographer and couldn't justify the expense of the superior Aquatech rain gear. I needed something small and light that fits in my camera backpack and keeps me shooting during poor weather conditions I occasionally encounter.If you do a lot of shooting in questionable weather and can justify the $200 cost, the Aquatech is obviously a better solution. But for $ the Op/Tech sleeves are hard to beat in a pinch, particularly for casual photographers.The sleeves are large enough to cover most all but the largest of the pro telephoto lenses. It fits my D300 with battery pack and 70-200 2.8 with room to spare. The sleeve has a hole in the rear - just remove your eyepiece cover, stretch the hole over the eyepiece, and replace the cover to hold it in place. The sleeve has a drawstring closure in front that holds very securely to the lens hood. The plastic is transparent and thin enough to allow operation of all the controls right through the sleeve (vs, sliding your hands up inside). It's a very usable solution, although it does make adjusting the zoom a bit more difficult. But again, this is intended to be more of an emergency or occasional rain solution.I've spent endless hours shooting football games in the rain and the protection provided is excellent. As long as you don't poke a hole in it, your equipment will stay dry. I'm able to reuse them multiple times.Pros: Very low cost, stores anywhere, excellent protection, low tech ease of use, able to see all of the camera's controls, works with tripods and monopods.Cons: Takes a few minutes to put on and get adjusted, makes accessing some controls a little awkward (but not impossible), far too long for short lenses.Bottom line: Excellent emergency protection during occasional bad weather for cameras with larger lenses. Those using smaller lenses should look for another solution.

I took this out in pretty heavy rain, and I must say it performed well. I can look through the viewfinder, not plastic. I can use this with any lens I have. I have 2 in my bag for whenever they are needed. They are definitely cheap enough to throw away after multiple uses.

Being a fire investigator, I'm often in wet situtations. The rainsleeve is a cheap and effective tool to protect my digital 35mm camera from the damp and wet conditions I often work in. It is compact and easy to store in my camera bag.
