Hmm.... I kinda like the Realtree Hardwoods Snow.

I bet anyone would like these after they get a chip in their L paint.

I don't see why they don't make covers for the zoom and focus. Or even a panel cover you lift up for the buttons....

My question is will the Realtree Hardwoods Snow pattern come off in 5 months of heavy use?

If they offered coats for all the lenses I'm planning on getting I'de be interested, but seems to be only pricey telephotos.

So these offer good protection for shooting in the rain?

well... the pieces themselves are waterproof, so they arnt going to make it any WORSE, but they arnt in any way attempting to seal the lens, they are simply to prevent scratches and help large white lenses blend in in nature situations. for rain you need to look at a kata rain cover.

Yeah, that's what I thought, cause they don't cover the entire lens it seems and the description on it was a little iffy for rain.

well, most of the lenses they are designed for are weather sealed already, so for most people thats not the problem.

Sorry I missed this thread a while ago :oops:. B&H pretty much stocks all LensCoats and LegCoats. The smallest lens thus far is the 28-300 on the Canon side and we just added the 200 1.8.
