Do you use a rainguard?
Do you attach it to the left side, and if so why?
Do you attach it to the right side, and if so why?
Do you attach to both sides, and if so why?
Do you use the rainguard that came with the binocular, or another make. if another make, why did you cahnge.
What are the advanatges / disadvantages in using the rainguard as you do (or don't use as the case may be).
And to start off:
I attach both sides. Does mean the lenses steam up if i breath into the rainguard as it hangs unde my chin on cold days but also means that it is quick to slide into place on rainy days. Its a compromise.
ANSWERS:
Yes.
I attach it to the left side.
I do not attach the right side. It will stay there without attaching it.
I use the rainguard supplied by the mfg'r. The Leica Trinovid has the best one I've used.
The only advantage is you don't have to worry about rain getting on the oculars.
Cordially,
Bob
Yes.
Left - not to both because it gets in the way of quick access.
Yes I use the one that came with my Leicas.
Don't really care about rain but it keeps the crumbs from my sandwiches out of the lenses!
Cheers,
