Review on LensCoat Raincoat Pro (Forest Green Camo) Camera Lens Rain Sleeve Cover Camouflage Protection LCRCPFG by Jeremy Carpenter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good, a few questions

Very good product. It keeps the camera and lens dry and clean, protecting them and adding camouflage for wildlife photography. A couple of issues I had is that putting the lens cap on is a little awkward as there are a lot of velcro straps. , straps, and you need to put it on the lens, make sure the string and velcro don't go around the lens stem etc. The front opening of the cap next to the hood has velcro INSIDE which is a pain in the neck , because when you try to put the cap on the lens you should try to keep the front open so that the velcro on the inside doesn't close and block the lens hood. Not sure what the velcro does inside, except maybe adds a slightly snugger fit if wrapped tightly around the hole. lots of material that flakes off when tightened. Finally, the inherent downside of the cap is that you can't see or operate the switches and other controls on the lens, making photography difficult when you need to adjust things like IS mode, focus range switch, etc. However this is a great product that does what you need it to do better than any other rain cover on the market that I know of. I use the cover even when it's not raining for protection from dirt and camouflage. I recommend it especially for wildlife photography; that you cannot see or operate the switches and other controls on the lens, which complicates photography when you need to adjust things like IS mode, focus range switch, etc. Still, it's a great product that does what you need it to do better than any other rain cover on the market that I know of.
