Yashica Mat Rain Cover.

[MrBrowning]

I just recently starting using a Yashica Mat-124 that i purchased a while back. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on shooting in the rain. What do you use a rain cover? How well does it work with a WLF?

I have an umbrella clamp that goes on my tripod. It works okay when there isn't a lot of wind. Otherwise i use a big plastic zip lock bag.

I just tuck it in my jacket and pull it out really quick to take the shot.

In the late 1950s through the late 1960s I used a Rolleiflex while working as a pro photographer and then I used a Yashicamat professionally from the late 1960s through the late 1970s. I never used any kind of rain cover for my cameras. These boxes will stand a lot of abuse. I still have my Yashicamat and use it once in a while. I fact I now have two Yashicamats. The "new" one has German-made lenses. I love the camera and the quality I get from the big negatives.

With my T.L.R. I use a plastic pedal bin liner that I carry in my pocket in case it rains.

Thanks everyone for the input. I want to try shooting some pictures of lightening and this has helped a lot. Now if we just get that thunderstorm.

Sounds like a plan. Rainy day's and ominous sky's make beautiful images forsure.

This is what you need. You'll be the center of attention.

Couldn't agree more.

Now that's a wide brimmed hat.

Which Yashica TLR do you have with "German-made lenses"? Howard Tanger

Better be careful on a windy day!

A plastic carrier bag works for me.

I use a plastic bag that I got from a dispenser at the dog park and jammed into my pocket in case the dog needed it somewhere down the road. The camera happened to need it before the dog did.

What happens if the dog needs it first ?
