Title: Lens Coats that my wife made for me
Post by: grandpawrichard 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
