    which wide angle

    Looking for a wide angle zoom for my 60D. Can't afford new thinking either Sigma 10-20 f3.5 or Tamron 10-24 f3.5-4.5 The Tamrom is more affordable to me. Am I losing a lot? what else should I look at? Have about £300-£400 to spend

    Hiking up Snowdon this weekend, precautions to take?

    If you're not an experienced walker or with a group that are then i'd be more worried about you than your gear. Snowden is not to be messed with. Hypothermia can kill and gets you quietly.

    Spec me a rain cover

    Needs to fit gripped 60D with Sigma 150-500 and/or Canon 100-400L Used for aviation photography so no need to be camo, but don't mind if it is. Preferably the sort that allows you to still access the controls and see the screen. All advice appreciated and thanks in advance.
