I think your rain is different to mine :-). In Scotland it's usually windy when it is raining; too windy to use an umbrella outside a town (and they aren't much use there either). I can take pictures down-wind in rain without the lens getting wet. Up-wind I wait for the rain to ease up; fortunately that happens quite often and I can live with small spots on the lens.

I put the lens cap on between shots, but that causes the lens to mist up, and it needs to be wiped.

These two shots were taken a couple of minutes apart, in opposite directions. My E-M1.2, and me, got thoroughly soaked before I got back to the car.
