I'm seeing opinions about which lens covers are best. Rolanpro or Lenscoat?
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
Rolanpro makes better quality and in terms of service life, as practice shows it lasts longer. They make good covers - no threads sticking out as if from an old sweater. What you can be picky about is the cutout-window for the switch controls. The stitching is a mess. There are copies with a large window and a narrow window, when you start to switch everything, you move the fabric.I'm seeing opinions about which lens covers are best. Rolanpro or Lenscoat?
These are excellent! , all seams are overlocked so they do not fray. Get the rubber backed.
They come from the U.K. but the shipping is fast , and at a reasonable rate.

I also have both - Rolanpro seems more tailored...and it feels nicer. I do have issues with the cutouts for buttons, TC, etc., but that's regardless of brand.I own Lenscoat and Roland Pro covers. Roland Pro everyday of the week and twice on Sunday! A little more difficult to get on but MUCH higher quality!
My order of preference based on actual use in different lenses I have had then on:
Chasing Birds>>> Outdoorphotographygear (lots of problems with fit & finish, lack of appropriate holes, rude owner)>Lenscoat>RolanPro
The bile has been yours, and you don't know why?A product is a product is a product! Unfortunately the phone you are & I are using to type these replies are also made in China. Yes even I don’t believe in their policies. We use lenses made in China & are superb. I don’t know why lens covers have produced so much bile!
@Steve Can someone moderate this thread!
Zemlin makes lens covers? Are they listed on his website?Karl Zemlin makes excellent lens covers, especially for the larger primes. I’ve purchased several of his products and have never been disappointed. They cost a bit more, but are well worth it.
I think there is some confusion between covers and caps. Zemlin carries capsZemlin makes lens covers? Are they listed on his website?
