With this lens on my short list, and 2 of the last 3 football playoff games being played in RAIN, and I mean RAIN, I need to find a good way to protect the non weather sealed Sigma.

I don't mind leaving my 1D exposed, and I only use basic protection for my 70-200 2.8L. (Basically a water proof sock.)

I have to admit that I am a L glass junkie, so I may wait and get the 300 2.8, but I really like the zoom of the Sigma.....

Anyway, if someone can point me to a good rain coat for this lens that would be great!

I guess something like these http://www.warehouseexpress.co.uk/PHOTO/aquatech/aquatech.html are what you are looking for. Not cheap though images/icons/eek7.gifimages/icons/sad.gif

That is it! Thanks Howard! I saw those in use at one of my rain games, and I liked it, but could not find it at B&H or Adorama...
