When I am photographing in persistent rain I will use a large clear bag with a hole I have created for the lens. An elastic is used to securely hold the bag to the lens hood. A rather simple inexpensive solution that seems to work well every time it is used.

Well, interestingly, Roger cicala of Lensrentals called the 7D2 the best weather-sealwd DSLR he had ever seen. I have got mine pretty damp in Ecuador with no problem. But I’ve even got a Rebel damp and it was OK. I don’t take any camera except a real waterproof camera out in serious rain. Closest I came was with my 6D in South Georgia last year and I had to quit when the lens (an L lens) got wet and I couldn’t focus on anything.
