Looking for a rain cover

I am looking for a good cover for rain. Worse case I will be using it with the 14-42 and care more about protecting the camera than that lens, and I shoot completely manually so need to be able to access all lens controls. I would also need to use it with my nikon primes as well, and obviously need to be able to control the lens well too while keeping them reasonably protected from rain (I love my nikons and don't want to see them get any damage from moisture, that said I need to be able to focus them easily (by hand at least), so nothing that overly impeeds lens control.

So yea, what are you all using and what do you recommend?


P.S. I am not looking to shoot in a monsoon, more light rain with occasional quick down pours, like we get in NYC.
 
I've used a lot of raincovers in the past with my hvx, dvx before that, and pd150 before that. All the Lowepro, kata, etc ones that are form fitted are a huge pain in the bum. They take way too long to put on when you are racing against the weather.
My new goto cover is the one from thephotobuddy.com
The website is a bit hoky looking, but these things are the perfect raincoat for any camera. goes on in seconds, hardly takes up any room at all in your bag, and keeps all the water out, not to mention it will work with any sized/shape lens you want to throw on your af. I'm not at all affiliated with the photo buddy, just a happy user.
