A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

My L glass is weather sealed, but I've also shot in rain with the 6D and it's not come out the worse for wear (worst case, it shut down during one protest and then came right back after I let it dry in my vehicle).

That being said, one of the reasons I'm looking at higher end RF bodies is for the better weather sealing. I often shoot in New England or other places where the rain just won't cooperate with you.
