Lenscoat for Nikon

[markjayne]

Can anyone tell me where the best (cheapest) place to buy a lenscoat cover for both my Nikon 300mm f2.8 VR and 600mm f4 VR would be. I've seen them on Warehouse and the Lenscoat website but was wondering if there was another good place to buy.

I'm after the black version for both BTW.

Cheers,

Mark

I use these on all of mine Mark:

Always found the product and service to be excellent. Kev even tailor made one for my 70-200mm vr.
Not sure about if he does black though. Worth a phone call. Great guy to deal with.

They really do protect the lens well from accidental knocks etc..

this may sound weird but for anyone who got socks this christmas you can use them as lens protectors. i call them lens "socks"

No offence but I think I'll give the sock idea a miss

mark whilst you are on the wildlife watching supplies site you might also like to consider looking at kevin weatleys (proprietor ) lens and camera covers ,i have a couple of these and find them very usefull for when it starts to rain as they can be screwed up and left in your pocket. As my mate kev shore says the product and service are great and one which i can also highly recommend

We are currently trialling some full length neoprene lens covers,If they are to the standard we demand,then they could be available within the month.Not much use if you want one quickly I know, but if your not in a rush,then the option is there.

And they are reversible,real tree english woodland on one side,black on the other.

I ha ve both the lenscoat one and the wildlife watching supplies one, if i were to pick one it would be the enscoat as its a tighter fit, the other moves about on the lens more whilst handholding.

Fracster the double sided one sounds like a decent idea.

The problem is the quality of the first two batches, i`m afraid they were not too standard,bit pee`d off about it to be honest, but no point selling substandard stuff.

At least its being worked on and has been noted. I think i may hold out to see what your one is like and what fitments as i will get rid of the wildlife watching oe on the 120-300 and was going to get the lenscoat.
