For those with Weather Resistant (WR) DSLR gear, how far do you go in exposing it to the elements, whether at Disney or elsewhere? Do you shoot in the rain? Take it on wet rides?
I'll be taking a Fuji X-T2 on my next trip, and also recently picked up the Fujinon 35mm f/2, giving me a weather resistant lens/body combo. I'm just not sure how much water exposure to risk. I don't think I'd do Kali River Rapids...but maybe Splash Mountain? <shrug>. I'd love to hear from DSLR owners who have flirted with the edge on this, and how well your gear survived.
And of course, this being the Photography board, I'd love to see your pictures that were made possible by weather resistance -- or made in spite of not having it.
For the shot below, I didn't have WR gear, but there was just a light mist coming down; I was comfortable keeping a bag over my camera as I walked around with a tripod, and just pulling it off when I was ready to take a shot.
