Lens Coats that my wife made for me
« on: March 13, 2012, 11:49:19 AM »
I have been wanting Camo Lens coats for my lenses for quite some time now, but I didn't want to pay the costly prices that they were asking for them. The other day while surfing the net I found a website that sold the Neoprene Material to make the coats. :)
So my wife and I ordered the material and when it came in we set to making our Prototypes. :) They came out Awesome! :)


My L series lenses: Back row Left to right:
Canon 70-200 f/4
Canon 400 F/5.6
Canon 300 F/4 IS
Front row: 1.4X L extender, 2X L Extender





My wife did a superb job of making them. :)

Thanks! :) The white does show up a very long ways off! But it's also pretty cool to look into a crowd of people taking photos and pick out the L series lenses! ;) :) :D

Luv em!  Great job there Grandpaw Richard...   :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
