Review on ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Ultimate Protection for Your Lens: LensCoat LCRC2SBK Raincoat 2 Standard - Black by Ron Houston

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the money.

This is an excellently made lens cap for camera equipment, but it is completely impractical to use. I am a professional aviation and automotive photographer and I shoot in all weather conditions. The sleeves are too tight and it's difficult to get both the 70-200 barrel and the camera body. The camera controls, in particular, are difficult to achieve. Most disappointing, however, is the inability to accommodate photographers who need to look into the camera's eyepiece. The only solution LensCoat could offer me was to buy a viewfinder eyecup and try to wrap the back of the RainCoat around it. Why should I do that! Why couldn't there be a corresponding cutout in this part of the cover with maybe a transparent plastic plate? I would not recommend this product to anyone except those trying to photograph landscapes in inclement weather.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • Something different
