Emily:

I can't help you with how to keep rain drops
off your lens, aside from the suggestion to
shoot while aiming your lens slight in the
downward direction.  I do this sometimes with
wide angle lenses in crummer weather, and if
that is not an option I hope the incident is
far enough away so I can use a 300f2.8 with
a lens hood.

As for fogging, go to your local ski shop and
ask for an anti-fog cloth.  I used to use
these while snowboard racing, and eventually
figured out that I could use these anti-fog
rags on my lenses with no adverse affects.
In the winter I usually give my front element,
rear-element, focusing screen, mirror and
view finders the once over. Works pretty good
(of course it only wears off when you least
expect it).

Happy Hunting !
