Rain Covers

Quick question!

I have the 28-105mm that's WR but if the white stuff comes I wanna shoot telephoto with the Sigma 70-200mm & poss the Bigma to compress scenes or shoot snowy portraits, so I think I've short listed it down to two covers:







I'm thinking both of these will be suitable for the 70-200mm but not sure about the Bigma?

Anyone have any recommendations for longer lens rain covers?

Thanks

Any sort of plastic bag big enough to cover the lens, just slip it under the lens hood to attach it.

I have the OpTech covers somewhere, but apart from on a whale watching trip in the rain I haven't used them, that was with the Bigma.
Didn't bother with them in Norway in the cold and snow or on more recent sailing trips, and everything survived just fine.
A plastic bag and an elastic band will do the job nearly as well. There are videos online suggesting how to use a bag for the job.

I have the Op-tech ones, which i only use when the weather's very bad. They work fine, and I just put them in the bag when it looks like it's going to be rough.

Alternatively, for really heavy rain, the following works well for 50mm, 75mm & 100mm sizes:

Have a good Xmas Gareth.
