I was reading the current issue of Shutterbug and saw an advertisement for a product call Lens Skins Lens Skins website They are basically a thin, pressure sensitive vinyl skin that covers the non-rubberized parts of your lens. They come in dozens of prints and patterns. I was thinking a camo version would be a good alternative to the neoprene Real Tree lens coats that cost much more. Has anyone tried this product? I'd love to hear your feedback, good, bad, or indifferent.
I'm not getting a warm, fuzzy feeling from them so far. Mike hasn't received his yet, and I sent them an email via their website and they haven't answered back. Seems the customer service end of the business is lacking somewhat.
A well stocked outdoor fabric store here has camo neoprene. I cut the strips to size and simply glued the ends with contact cement. I have them on my 300 and 400mm lenses, they look good, do what they're supposed to and I think I might have $6 tied up in each.
aparently mine has shipped now, missed the deadline for my trip as I am sitting in the airport waiting to go...They did say sorry for the delay & added an additional one for good measure, hopefully it is a funky love heart one!
