Comments about AquaTech SS-200 Sport Shield Rain Cover (Camouflage):
Used with 24 to 70 in rain. Easy to use and very secure.
Would be nice if the shield had a port for a camera tripod mount.

Comments about AquaTech SS-200 Sport Shield Rain Cover (Camouflage):
I already own a solid blue SS-200 sports shield, and have been very happy with it. However, in the 5 months between ordering my original shield and this, camo-colored shield, the design changed, and for my use, not for the better for the following reasons: 1) it is very difficult to work a zoom though this cover 2) the neoprene eyepiece hole doesn't fit easily over the required adapters 3) if you need to change lenses, you must completely remove the cover. My previous SS-200 has a full-length zipper along the bottom side of the lens which made it much easier to use.
I do like the level of protection that the Aqua Tech sports shields provide over cheaper vinyl and velcro alternatives. But they are pricey!

Comments about AquaTech SS-200 Sport Shield Rain Cover (Camouflage):
The cover is of very high quality and would work well with a prime lens in autofocus mode. My big problem is that there is almost no access to the lens with the cover intalled. No zooming and no manual focusing.
AquaTech's website lists this cover fitting both the 100-400L and the 24-105L (among many others). The elastic band of the cover falls right on top of the zoom ring of the 24-105 making it very difficult to use. And, while the 100-400 does fit inside the cover, it only does so when retracted to the 100 length.
I had very high hopes for this cover and the quality is great but it just does not work with my bag of zoom lenses.
