800 Pf lenscoat

[Orson]

For those who have a 800pf in use , what lenscoat would you advise?
Thanks

I've got the actual Lenscoat brand. It fits well and has a couple of handy details like a small hole over the white dot for alignment when mounting on the camera. Expensive but they work.

I've been using the Rolan Pro version. Quite a bit cheaper than Lenscoat and I like that the edges are all sewn.

I'm using the Lenscoat Brand and the edges are sealed to prevent / reduce fraying. I had some fraying on my 3 year old Lenscoat that's on my 500PF but I trimmed the frayed ends and sealed the edges so far so good. I've heard good reports from friends that use Roland Pro versions.

I've ordered a covering from Alphagvrd for my 400 f4.5 . I'll let you know how I like it.

I just received an 800pf this week, and as soon as I was notified it was coming, I ordered a covering from outdoorphotographygear in UK. I have the lens coat for the 180-400/4 and others, and one from outdoor photography gear for the z 400/4.5. I particularly like the latter as it is a bit thicker, and the edges are sewn to prevent fraying.

Hi,
Received my 800 pf a month ago
, and after a bit of an online research I bought an excellent coat . It is from a relatively unknown brand but the quality seem to be very good. I found it on EBay:

The pros:
- it well made
- easy to install, they even supply a hex tool to remove the lens foot
- VERY IMPORTANT: it have 4 holes for the L-fn2 buttons ( something which is missing, if Im not mistaken on the Lenscoat and Rolan pro products )
- there is a hole for the hood detach lever
- there are red dots stickers to lens mount and lens foot alignment
- the edges are sewn - so it will not fray ( like on the lenscoat)
- the urban camo is a nice choice to have ( more of a personal preference, I guess)

Cons:
- a bit pricey compare to the Rolanpro, but similar to the Lenscoat

I will not buy another lenscoat as they are poorly made considering the cost. The edges fray and split. This UK product is much better, as they sew robust double herring/blanket stitches on all the edges. Their 80-400 G and 500 PF cover has held up well.
The company also makes excellent lightweight camouflaged hides, and netting/sheeting, which has lasted me well.

I like the looks of this product, nice touches w/ the cutouts for controls and dots for mounting alignment.
