Lens cover for Nikon 180-600 that does not cover Fn buttons?

[Iowayankees]

Has anyone located and is using a lens cover that does not cover all of the function buttons on the Nickon 180-600mm lens?? Thx for your valuable input.

Interesting that you say that. One of the challenges with the neoprene covers for the 186 is largely that of the way the lens is designed with the zoom control and other sections rather close together. I had purchased a cover from outdoor photography gear UK (https://www.outdoorphotographygear.co.uk/nikon-neoprene-lens-covers), though have removed some of the pieces from the lens for the reasons mentioned. Currently, I am transitioning to vinyl wraps for this reason though miss the relative protection that neoprene affords.

If you're using Lenscoat the same 'hiding' of the function buttons is the case with my 600 tc, as well. I rarely use the lens function buttons but have marked where they are under the cover with a permanent marker. Doesn't help at all trying to find them by feel, but visually works like a charm. Cheers.

Look at the RolanPro line. They can be found on Amazon.com and the photos they show appear to have cutouts for the function buttons.

Hi, I have 3 lenses covered in this companies products.

Can definitely recommend. Get the rubber backed option.

All function buttons, switches etc. are available through button/switch size holes.

I'm using the easycover one (the cheapest option I could find), and it has cutouts for the fn buttons. Sometimes the cover part just slips a bit and turns away from the buttons but it's very easy to turn it back in place.
