Sigma’s Water Repellent (WR) Ceramic Protector is available in thread sizes ranging from 67mm to 105mm. No word yet on price or availability but we should know more soon. For a frame of reference, Sigma’s current, non-ceramic WR Protector filters range from about $50 to $175 depending on the diameter.
Where’s the Rain-X.?
Must admit, I haven’t tried it on any of my lenses.
