There is no other option for lens protection, insulation and camo disguise. Easy to put on, I did not even take my straps off. Easy to handle for better grip [I hand hold my 500f4]. An investment for your expensive lens well worth the money. I also bought the hoodie and extremely satisfied with both. Brilliant design by Lenscoat!

Well designed product with the exception that the filter is hard to change with the Lens Coat on. Solution is to get an Exacto knife and cut the cover back. In time this may (or may not) cause the cover to wear faster.

With the LensCoat Lens Cover for the Canon 500mm f/4.0 IS Lens in Realtree Max4, you can seamlessly blend into your surroundings while protecting your valuable photography equipment. This lens cover is specifically designed to mask your 200mm to 600mm lens, significantly improving your chances of capturing those elusive, once-in-a-lifetime wildlife shots without startling your subjects.
Constructed from 100% closed-cell neoprene, the LensCoat Lens Cover offers robust protection against bumps, jars, and nicks. Its camouflage-pattern fabric cover not only provides an added layer of protection but also helps to break up the shape of your lens, making it less noticeable to wildlife.
The LensCoat Lens Cover also serves as a thermal barrier, safeguarding your hands from the cold lens surface in lower temperatures. Its waterproof design ensures your lens remains protected even in harsh weather conditions, making it an ideal accessory for outdoor photography.
Ease of use is a key feature of the LensCoat Lens Cover. It's designed for quick installation and removal, leaving no residue on the lens. The cover includes a clear, flexible UV-PVC window over the AF/IS/VR controls and the distance-scale window, allowing for easy adjustment without removing the cover.
Additionally, the LensCoat Lens Cover features custom holes that align with the red-dot on your lens for easy alignment to the camera body. This thoughtful design detail ensures you can quickly mount your lens even with the cover installed.
In summary, the LensCoat Lens Cover for the Canon 500mm f/4.0 IS Lens - Realtree Max4 is an essential accessory for wildlife photographers, offering lens protection, thermal insulation, and a camouflage disguise, all while maintaining easy access to lens controls.
