I use this on a 100-400mm Canon telephoto with camera body and it fits great! It's been under fire in inclement weather on two occasions in the short time I've owned it and it has worked wonderfully! Much, much better than the Canon cover I paid just as much for!!!

Comments about Vortex Media SLR Storm Jacket Camera Cover, Medium (Red):
A small zipper opening in the area of most camera's tripod mount would have greatly improved its design. It's a bit akward to use, but quite effective in the rain.

Used it today with my 5D and the 70-200 2.8 IS, plenty of room for both and to get my hands in there. I attached the front part to the lens hood and secured the back around the eye cup. Kept the sprinkles off my camera so I wouldn't freak out about every little rain drop.

Comments about Vortex Media SLR Storm Jacket Camera Cover, Medium (Red):
I bought this and the Opteka rain jackets to compare before heading out to Niagara Falls for vacation. The Opteka jacket was good, but I LOVE my storm jacket. It is a very simple design- open on both ends with bungee cord to tighten either side(your lens side obviously tightened!). I loved that it gave me access to the back of my camera for control settings and access for adjusting the focus. I thought that with the zooming in and out- the bungee would not function correctly but it worked great! I have a Pentax K-r, and although I could have gotten by with a Small, but I wanted a Medium for $ more. The price is expensive- if you are looking for a one time thing I would suggest the rain jackets as they are under $ and you get two; but, if you are like me and live in a very rainy area where you might be needing rain protection often- I would say it is much better to invest in the storm jacket. I'm very happy with it and the added case with clip is great for attaching to my backpack!

Used this with a T1i and a Tamron 28-300 aspherical (not very long) and the medium size was big. But the cover worked well and exactly as advertised. Seems durable and easy to use. I'm happy.
