Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent Quality Product

I live and photograph landscapes in Colorado and the northern Rocky Mountains where the climate is extreme, sometimes snow and cold, sometimes rain in summer. . . This camera cover is large enough to fully cover my D810 and my lens up to 70-200mm, as well as the main smaller diameter lenses I use like the 20mm and 85mm, although there is a lot of added bulkiness when using shorter lenses. The front latches wrap around the lens hood and protect the lens barrel and camera body. and still leaves room to control the focus and zoom of the lens by reaching through the body of the cap without much restriction. The clear plastic back provides a good view of the camera controls and LCD in live view, but I've found that wrinkles now appear unless you protect the clear plastic by making sure it doesn't bend when you put it on or bends . it away, keep it flat. It's relatively easy to get the camera inside BEFORE mounting it on a tripod (a good ArcaSwiss ball head and L-Bracket make tripod mounting easier), allowing you to do all the adjustments before you strap the camera on and close it Completely. .Hand holes are a little tight and I found that I don't use them in most cases, except when it snows or rains heavily. The clear plastic back is much easier to lift, allowing better access to the camera and controls, as well as viewing the LCD screen. Either way, precise focusing requires you to lift the back cover, so why jump around with hand holes and lift the cover. . .This is a great addition to your camera bag when you are in bad or bad conditions OR when you want to be outside in all weather conditions. I recommend having one "just in case". .
